The Governor of Sevastopol (Russian: Губернатор Севастополя; Ukrainian: Губернатор Севастополя) is head of the executive branch of the political system in the city of Sevastopol. The governor's office administers all city services, public property, police and fire protection, most public agencies, and enforces all city and state laws within Sevastopol.

The governor's office is located on Lenin Street. It has jurisdiction over all districts of Sevastopol. The governor appoints many officials, including Directors who head city departments and deputy governors.

Prior to the annexation of Sevastopol by Russia in 2014, the city administrator was called the Chairman of Sevastopol City State Administration, and was often^[when?] referred to as the Mayor of Sevastopol^{[citation needed]}. During this period in which Sevastopol functioned as a city with special status within Ukraine, the city administrator was appointed by the President of Ukraine.^[1] Since the Russian annexation in 2014, the status of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is under dispute between Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine and the majority of the international community considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Ukraine, while Russia, on the other hand, considers the Crimea and Sevastopol an integral part of Russia, with Sevastopol functioning as a federal city within the Southern Federal District.^[2][3][4]
