The Province of Sachsen was a province in the Kingdom of Prussia from 1815-1944. It comprised the Northern part of the former historical Sachsen region, the lower part became the Kingdom of Sachsen. Currently it is part of Sachsen-Anhalt.

The arms are the historical arms of Sachsen, with the supporters used by all Prussian provinces. In the small arms the supporters are replaced by the Prussian eagle in chief.
