The Governor of Gozo was the administrator of Gozo, in what is today Malta, between 1530 and 1814. The office was established under Hospitaller rule, and abolished during the early years of British rule in Malta, when chief civil officers were first appointed to administer the island.[1]

The seat of the Governor was a building in the Cittadella known as the Governor's Palace, constructed in the 17th century during the magistracy of Alof de Wignacourt. The building is now a courthouse.[2]
