The Regional State Administrative Agencies (Finnish: aluehallintovirasto, avi, pl. aluehallintovirastot, Swedish: regionförvaltningsverk) were a set of top-level regional organs of the state of Finland, mainly in charge of basic public services and legal permits. Established in 2010, six agencies took over some of the tasks of the earlier provinces of Finland, which were abolished at the end of 2009. A seventh agency in the autonomous area Åland is named the State Department of Åland.

The agencies themselves did not constitute a subdivision of Finland (ISO 3166-2:FI); instead, the first-level subdivisions were and still are the regions of Finland. The other important set of top-level regional state agencies were the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY-keskukset, sing. ELY-keskus).

The operations of the Regional State Administrative Agencies ended on 31 December 2025, when the Finnish Supervisory Agency [fi] (Lupa- ja valvontavirasto, LVV) was established on 1 January 2026.^[1]
