The Viceroy of Three Northeast Provinces (simplified Chinese: 东三省总督; traditional Chinese: 東三省總督), fully referred to as the Governor General of Three Northeast Provinces and surrounding areas; Overseeing Military Generals of the Three Provinces; Director of Civil Affairs of Fengtian (總督東三省等處地方兼管三省將軍、奉天巡撫事), was the one of nine regional viceroys of the Qing Dynasty in China. The Viceroy had jurisdiction over the three provinces (Fengtian or Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang) in the Northeast China (also known as Manchuria).

This post was established in the early 20th century, and was the only Qing Dynasty viceroy that had jurisdiction outside China proper.
