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.

In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice governor becomes the governor.

History

Prior to the creation of this office, Zamboanga Sibugay used to be the 3rd Legislative District of Zamboanga del Sur. On February 22, 2001, a plebiscite was held for the said area, and a new province was created. 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]
