Ober Ost, short for the German term "Oberbefehlshaber der gesamten Deutschen Streitkräfte im Osten" ("Supreme Command of All German Forces in the East"), was a German World War I military administration that governed a large part of the German-held areas of the Russian Empire. Ober Ost covered roughly 108,808 km² of Courland, Lithuania and the Polish areas of Augustów and Suwałki. It was created in 1915 by the Oberste Heeresleitung, and its first commander was Prince Leopold of Bavaria.

Wilna Administrative Area was a unit of administrative division of German-controlled territory of the Ober-Ost. It bordered the so-called Southern Lithuania area to the south and Kaunas government precinct to the north. The area was formed roughly in the parts of former Vilna Governorate and Suvalki Governorate of the Russian Empire.
