Galaşke Province (Waynakh: Galaşke), often anglicized as Galashke Province, is a province in the south-west of Waynakhia. It is bordered by Şol-Xi Province and Alania to the west, Näsare Province to the north-west, Şolƶa Province to the north, Marta Province to the north-east, Galay-Ç̇aƶ Province to the east, and Georgia to the south.
The province was founded in 2019, after the Waynakh provincial reform, when its territory was split out of Şolƶa, Şol-Xi, and the former Jayraẋ Province.
The existence of this province has been a source of debate since it was founded, and some people have proposed the division of the area into as many as 6 new provinces. The issue became significant when discussion of forming Orstxo Province reached government, because the administrative center of the province would fall in the territory of Orstxo.
