The Governor of Irkutsk Oblast (Russian: Губернатор Иркутской области) is the highest official of Irkutsk Oblast. The office of governor of Irkutsk Governorate was established in 1783 as part of the Russian Empire. In 1926, under the Soviet Union, the governorate became part of the newly created Siberian Krai, which lasted until its division in 1930 into and West Siberian Krais. The area of the former Irkutsk Governorate became part of the East Siberian Krai. In 1936 East Siberian Krai was further divided up, and in 1937 the remaining area was split into Chita Oblast and Irkutsk Oblast. Since then Irkutsk Oblast has been an independent federal subject of Russia.
Since May 2003 the governor has been elected for a five-year term. Prior to this it was a four-year term.[1]
