The State Archive of the Republic of Macedonia - Department Skopje (Macedonian: Државен архив на Република Македонија - Одделение Скопје), more commonly known as the Historical Archive of Skopje (Macedonian: Историски архив на Скопје, Albanian: Arkivi Historik i Shkupit) is the primary institution responsible for preservation of archival materials in the City of Skopje and Skopje Statistical Region.

[1] Following the end of the World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia and the subsequent creation of the archival centre in the city in 1951, the People's Committee of Skopje decided in 1952 to establish the State Archive.

[2] This marked the beginning of systematic archival preservation in the newly established People's Republic of Macedonia.

[2] In 1974, it became known as the Archive of Skopje-Skopje, and in 1990, it was restructured into a regional department under the unified administration of the State Archives of the Republic of North Macedonia.

[2] The archive holds 675 fonds and 10 collections, with notable fonds including those related to the City Administration of Skopje, national liberation and people's committees, educational and cultural institutions, commercial enterprises, and religious organizations.
