{{See also|List of current governors in Indonesia}}
In [[Indonesia]], the title ''gubernur'' refers to the highest-ranking executive of a [[Provinces of Indonesia|provincial]] government. The governor and the vice governor are elected by a direct vote from the people as a couple candidate, so the governor is responsible to the provincial residents. The governor has a term of five years to work in office and can be re-elected for another single period. In case of death, disability, or resignation, the vice governor would stand in as acting governor for some time before being inaugurated as the permanent governor.

The elected governor is inaugurated by [[President of Indonesia|the president]], or by the [[Minister of Home Affairs (Indonesia)|Indonesian minister of home affairs]] on behalf of the president. In addition, the governor is the representative of the central government in the province and is responsible to the president. The governor's authority is regulated within Law ({{langx|id|Undang-undang}}) No. 32/2004 and Governmental Ordinance ({{langx|id|Peraturan Pemerintah}}) No. 19/2010.

Principally, the governor has the tasks and the authorities to lead governmental services in the province, based upon the policies that have been made together with the provincial parliament. The governor is not the superordinate of [[regent]]s or [[mayor]]s, but only guides supervises, and coordinates the works of city/municipal and regency governments. In other parts, municipal and regency governments have the right to manage each governance affairs based on the autonomy principle and assistantship duties.
