Aksaray is a province in central Turkey. Its adjacent provinces are Konya along the west and south, Nigde to the southeast, Nevsehir to the east, and Kirsehir to the north. It covers an area of 7,626 km². The provincial capital is the city of Aksaray.

This is a region of great natural beauty: Aksaray is one of the four provinces in the much-visited area of Cappadocia, along with Nevsehir, Nigde and Kayseri. Also the 3,000m volcano Hasan Dagi stands between Aksaray and Nigde. Summers are hot and dry on the plain, but the area is green and covered in flowers in springtime, when water streams off the mountainside. The 2400km² salt lake, Tuz Gölü, lies within the boundaries of Aksaray, a large area of swamp with a maximum depth of 1 metre.
