'''New Andalusia Province''' or '''Province of Cumaná''' (1537–1864) was a province of the [[Spanish Empire]], and later of [[Gran Colombia]] and [[Venezuela]]. It included the territory of present-day Venezuelan states [[Sucre, Venezuela|Sucre]], [[Anzoátegui]] and [[Monagas]]. Its most important cities were the Capital City [[Cumaná]] and [[Barcelona, Venezuela|New Barcelona]].

Its provincial capital, [[Cumaná]], was refounded in 1569 by explorer [[Diego Hernández de Serpa]]. The Province originally comprised what is now eastern [[Venezuela]], western [[Guyana]], and far northern [[Brazil]]. In the following centuries, its jurisdiction was reduced to [[Cumaná]] and [[Barcelona, Anzoátegui|Barcelona]] and was synonymous with Cumaná Province.
Early in its history, the conquistador [[Joan Orpí]] founded a new Province, of ''Nueva Cataluña'' (New Catalonia), also known as ''New Barcelona'' after its capital, [[Barcelona, Anzoátegui|Barcelona]], partly from territory belonging to New Andalusia. This lasted from 1637 to 1654, when it was incorporated into New Andalusia. [[Guayana Province]] (created 1585) provided a southern boundary, while [[Venezuela Province]] provided a western one.

Following the [[Venezuelan Declaration of Independence]] (1811), the Province became one of the [[Provinces of Gran Colombia]] (after 1824, within the [[Orinoco Department]]).
Capital: Cumaná.
