The Information Office of the Guangxi Autonomous Region (廣西壯族自治區人民政府新聞辦公室) is the office directly under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership of Guangxi responsible for external communication on behalf of the region’s government.

Provincial-level information offices in China coordinate media relations and policy communication within the State Council system, but at the national level the State Council Information Office (SCIO), which was established in January 1991, is similarly linked to the Party’s Central Propaganda Department, and officials are often listed as having titles in both offices.
