The Province of Nuoro (Italian: Provincia di Nuoro; Template:Lang-sc) is a province in the autonomous island region of Sardinia, Italy. Its capital is the city of Nuoro.

It has an area of 5,638 square kilometres (2,177 sq mi), and, As of 2017, a total population of 210,972. The province is divided into 74 comuni, the largest of which are Nuoro (36,925 inhabitants), Siniscola (11,492), Macomer (10,043), and Dorgali (8,576).[1] The other comuni are generally not so large, even if Oliena (7,123 inhtabitans) and Orosei (7,025) can be considered as well as populated towns.

The province was established in 1927.[2] In 2005, the territory of the Province of Nuoro has been substantially reduced as a consequence of the establishment in the island of four new provinces.

The province hosts some of the wildest and most beautiful natural landscapes in the world.[citation needed] Part of these landscapes has been included in the National Park of the Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu which straddles the border between the Provinces of Nuoro and Ogliastra.

The Province of Nuoro is one of Europe's less-densely populated areas.[citation needed] However, it is known for its high concentration of centenarians and supercentenarians. From 5 March 2001 to 3 January 2002, Antonio Todde, from Tiana, was the oldest man in the world.
