A '''treasury''' is either 
*A [[government department]] related to finance and [[taxation]], a [[Finance minister|finance ministry]]; in a business context, [[corporate treasury]].
*A place or location where [[treasure]], such as [[currency]] or precious items are kept. These can be  [[State ownership|state]] or royal property, [[church treasure]] or in [[private ownership]].

The head of a treasury is typically known as a [[treasurer]]. This position may not necessarily have the final control over the actions of the treasury, particularly if they are not an elected representative.

The adjective for a treasury is normally '''treasurial'''. The adjective "tresorial" can also be used, but this normally means pertaining to a ''treasurer''.
