The '''Athens Prefecture''' ({{langx|el|Νομαρχία Αθηνών|translit=Nomarkhía Athinón}}) was one of the [[prefectures of Greece]]. It was part of the [[Attica (region)|Attica]] region  and the [[Athens-Piraeus super-prefecture]]. The capital of the prefecture was the city of [[Athens]]. After [[Lefkada Prefecture]] it was the second-smallest in Greece, but was the most populous and most [[population density|densely populated]]. It covered the central part of the agglomeration of Athens. Its extremities lied in the [[Communities and Municipalities of Greece|municipalities or communities]] of [[Chaidari]] in the west, [[Ekali]] in the north, [[Penteli, Greece|Penteli]] in the east, and [[Glyfada]] in the south. It bordered [[East Attica Prefecture]] to the northeast, east, and southeast, [[West Attica Prefecture]] to the northwest, and [[Piraeus Prefecture]] and the [[Saronic Gulf]] to the west.

== Regional units ==
In 2011 the prefecture was abolished and the territory is now covered by:
* [[North Athens (regional unit)]]
* [[West Athens (regional unit)]]
* [[Central Athens (regional unit)]]
* [[South Athens (regional unit)]]
