**Hellenic State** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Ελληνική Πολιτεία), also translated as **Greek State**, was used as the official name of the [modern Greek state](/source/Modern_Greece) three times in its history:

- [First Hellenic Republic](/source/First_Hellenic_Republic) during the period of governance by Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1828–1832, when Greece was first constituted as a regular state after the Greek War of Independence.

- The first few months of the [Second Hellenic Republic](/source/Second_Hellenic_Republic), after which the name was changed to *Hellenic Republic* on 24 May 1924.

- [Hellenic State](/source/Hellenic_State_(1941%E2%80%931944)), during the period of Axis occupation (1941–1944) of the country during World War II, when the pro-Axis government renamed the country in opposition to the pro-Allies Kingdom of Greece, which remained in exile in Egypt.
