Tavria Okruha (Ukrainian: Таврійська округа, romanized: Tavriiska okruha) was an administrative subdivision of the Ukrainian State (Ukraine) created in April 1918. The okruha was governed by a starosta from Berdiansk. The territory was named after the Crimean Peninsula.

Following withdrawal of the forces of the Central powers in late 1918, Russian tri-colors of the Armed Forces of South Russia were raised in most of the okruha, except for a few localities in Dnipro County closer to Kherson Governorate.

After the Bolsheviks took control, the okruha was split between the Kherson Governorate and Aleksandrovsk (Zaporizhzhia) Governorate.
