Galay-Ç̇aƶ Province (Waynakh: Galay-Ç̇aƶ), often anglicized as Galay-Chazh Province, is a province in the south of Waynakhia. It is bordered by Galaşke Province to the west, Marta Province to the north, Şüyta Province to the north-east, Ç̇änta Province to the east and south-east, and Georgia to the south.
The province was founded in 2019, after the Waynakh provincial reform, when its territory was split out of Ç̇änta, Galaşke, and Marta Provinces.
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 10 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.
