Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for partitioning memory mapped device configuration space are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a configuration space address storage location, an access map storage location, and addressing logic. The configuration space address storage location is to store a pointer to a memory region to which transactions to configure devices in a partition of a partitioned system are addressed. The access map storage location is to store an access map or a pointer to an access map. The addressing logic is to use the access map to determine whether a configuration transaction from a processor to one of the devices is to be allowed.
