The province of Caltanissetta (; or pruvincia di Cartanissetta; officially libero consorzio comunale di Caltanissetta) is a province in the southern part of Sicily, Italy. Following the suppression of the Sicilian provinces, it was replaced in 2015 by the free municipal consortium of Caltanissetta (). The province contains 22 municipalities (comuni). Its coat of arms is a red crest and two green leaf stems on top with a laurel leaf on the right and a crown in the middle. The River Salso is the main river of the province; it is 122 km long and originates in the province of Palermo, and it flows into the Mediterranean in this province at the end of the Gulf of Gela.
