The Central Bureau of Statistics (Nepali: केन्द्रीय तथाङ्क विभाग) is the central agency for the collection, consolidation, processing, analysis, publication and dissemination of statistics in Nepal.

[1][3] Before 2015, different Nepalese governmental organisations gathered statistical information on their own.

This led to inconsistencies in statistical information, for which the Bureau called for improvement of the processes, which, however, were not implemented as of 2017.

[4] The Bureau's main functions include providing its government with statistics to help with public policy planning, collecting and analyzing socioeconomic data, and developing methodologies for reliable data collection and implementation.

[5] After the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the Bureau, in coordination with the United Nations, collected data regarding the damages in order for the Government of Nepal to support and compensate the victims.
