This is a list of provincial governors in the Philippines. Each Philippine province elects a governor to be its executive. Like all elected local officials, governors can only serve for three consecutive terms before having to skip a fourth term in order to be eligible again.
Metro Manila is a region called the National Capital Region and does not have a governor. Cities outside the jurisdiction of a province also do not elect governors. The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has a separate office for a regional governor.
The Governor-General of the Philippines was a distinct and separate office; they were colonial officials during the Spanish and American colonial periods

These are the list of incumbent governors of the Philippines who were elected on May 13, 2013, and took oath of office on June 30, 2013. All of their terms will expire on June 30, 2016.
