The Governor of Bohol (Filipino: Punong Lalawigan ng Bohol) is the local chief executive of the provincial government of Bohol, Philippines. The governor holds office at the Bohol New Provincial Capitol in Tagbilaran City and its official residence is at the Governor's Mansion located along Carlos P. Garcia Avenue in Cogon District, also in Tagbilaran. 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. Along with the governor of Cebu, city mayors of Cebu, Lapu-lapu, and Mandaue, the province's chief executive is a member of the Regional Development Council of the Central Visayas Region.

| Guillermo Kirkpatrick | March 3, 1854 – March 3, 1857 | First Governor of Bohol (together with Siquijor) when it became a separate politico-military province from Cebu on March 3, 1854 through a signed decree of Governor-General Manuel Pavía. He is a former Captain of the Corps of Engineers, who mapped Bohol and Siquijor and constructed many roads and stone bridges from Guindulman-Tagbilaran-Inabanga, including the old Capitol Building (now Bohol National Museum) while imposing 40-day-Polo y servicio. [1][2][3]
In 1855, to prevent constant emigration of Boholanos, and to gather enough men for Polo y Servicio, he imposed a lockdown, requiring potential emigrants to obtain passports which is only renewable every year. Boholanos caught without a passport in other provinces were put into prison. A complaint was sent (apocryphally by Doña Martinez (?), a nanny of the queen and the great-grandmother of Teodorico Ramasola of Maribojoc), to Queen Isabella II, who then appointed Bernardo Salvador, a lawyer as Lieutenant Governor of the province. As a consequence, the governor requires to report and seek approvals from the Lt. Governor for any of his decisions.
