The Governor of Labuan was the appointed head of the government of the Crown Colony of Labuan.
From 1848 to 1890, the governors were appointed by the British authorities in London. When the administration was taken over by the North Borneo Chartered Company in 1890, the company became responsible for the appointment of the governors until the Straits Settlements administration took over in 1906.
