The State Archives of Fermo (Italian: Archivio di Stato di Fermo) is a state archival institution in Fermo, in the Marche region of Italy. It preserves historical records produced by the peripheral offices of the Italian state in the province of Fermo and other archival collections of historical significance.

The archive originated as a Section of the State Archives of Ascoli Piceno, established by ministerial decree on 10 July 1965. After the creation of the Province of Fermo in 2004, it was elevated to an autonomous State Archives on 28 December 2007.

The holdings include municipal archives of Fermo, notarial archives from Fermo, Sant'Elpidio a Mare, and Montegiorgio, the archives of the Prefecture of the Tronto department (1808–1816), the Apostolic Delegation (1817–1860), and the Subprefecture of Fermo (1860–1926). Catastals from the pre-Napoleonic, Napoleonic, and post-unitary periods, along with archives of prominent families are also preserved.
