The Governorate of Quijos (Spanish: Gobierno de Quijos / Gobernación de los Quijos), also known unofficially as the Province of the Quijos (Spanish: Provincia de los Quijos, formerly Quixos) prior to 1577, was one of the provinces established at the eastern part of the Real Audiencia of Quito in 1559, varying between the Viceroyalties of Peru (1559–1717; 1723–1739) and New Granada (1717–1723; 1739–1802) until its ultimate reincorporation to Peru through the real cédula of July 15, 1802, as part of the General Command of Maynas.
