The State of Damascus (French: État de Damas; Arabic: دولة دمشق Dawlat Dimashq) was one of the six states established by the French General Henri Gouraud in the French Mandate of Syria which followed the San Remo conference of 1920 and the defeat of King Faisal's short-lived monarchy in Syria.

The new Damascus state lost four Qada's (sub-districts) that had been part of the Vilayet (district) of Damascus during Ottoman times to the mainly Christian Mount Lebanon to create the new State of Greater Lebanon.

The territory separated from Damascus corresponds today to the Biqa' valley plus south Lebanon.

Damascus, and later Syria, continuously protested the separation of these lands and kept demanding them back throughout the mandate period.

The population of these regions, which was mainly Muslim, also protested the separation from Damascus.
