Ayodhya division (formerly Faizabad division) is one of the 18 administrative geographical units (i.e. division) of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya city is the administrative headquarters of the division. The government of Uttar Pradesh approved the renaming of the Faizabad division to Ayodhya division in November 2018.

The division currently consists of the following 5 districts:-

• Ambedkar Nagar
• Amethi
• Barabanki
• Ayodhya
• Sultanpur

The 2011 census did not use the new organisation. The districts at the time consisted of Barabanki, Faizabad (now called Ayodhya), Ambedkar Nagar, and Sultanpur. The latter had different sub-districts than now.
