An ecclesiastical government is a governmental body that derives its powers from spiritual or religious teachings. Such governments are usually the hierarchy of a church, and they do not often achieve statehood.

The best known ecclesiastical governments that have achieved statehood, are the Vatican and the less recognized, and dubious, Dominion of Melchizedek.
