The governor of Zamboanga Sibugay is the local chief executive of the Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay. The governor holds office at the Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Capitol. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the governor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former governor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice governor becomes the governor.
See main article: 2001 Zamboanga Sibugay creation plebiscite. Prior to the creation of this office, Zamboanga Sibugay used to be the 3rd Legislative District of Zamboanga del Sur.

George Hofer, the author of Republic Act No. 8973[1] and Zamboanga del Sur's 3rd District Representative at the time, served as the province's first governor.[2]
