The Government Delegation for Gender Violence (Spanish: Delegación del Gobierno para la Violencia de Género, DGVG) is a department of the Secretariat of State for Equality of the Spanish Department of Equality responsible for formulating the central government policy against the different forms of violence against women and promoting, coordinating and advising on all the measures carried out in this matter.

The Government Delegation is structured through a central organization integrated by two deputy directorates-general and a decentralized network of gender violence units.

The organ was granted the rank of directorate-general and its first holder was Encarnación Orozco, a Labour Law expert and Socialist Parliamentary Group's Legal Cabinet advisor.
