Sunni Islam

Note: It is important to mention Sunni Islam has no leaders as the term is understood in the Christian world. There is currently no caliph. Even when the caliphate was active it was not equivalent to a Sunni "Pope" or "Dalai Lama". In fact such a thing could well be deemed shirk in orthodox Sunni circles. The following people are mentioned to add Sunni content as they are leading figures.

Islam: Ismaili, Ahmadiyya, and Druze

(Status as a part of Islam is highly disputed, more so than even with Ahmadiyya, but has Ismaili origins) - There is little official hierarchy in the religious community, except for the Shaykh al-'Aqel, whose role is more political and social rather than religious. The religious inner circle is called the uqqal and the elite of them are called ajawīd. The ajawīd represent approximately .2%-.4% of their population.

Judaism

Note: As with Islam these leaders may not necessarily have that much authority, it varies from group to group.
