The governor of Luhansk Oblast is the head of the executive branch for the Luhansk Oblast. Due to the current Russo-Ukrainian War, the administration has been assigned as a civil–military administration since 5 March 2015. As a result, the governor of the Oblast is officially called Head of the Luhansk Regional Military–Civil Administration.

The office of governor is an appointed position, with officeholders being appointed by the president of Ukraine, on recommendation from the prime minister of Ukraine, to serve a four-year term.

The official residence for the governor was originally located in Luhansk and then relocated to Sievierodonetsk (until its capture by Russian forces in 2022) due to the War in Donbas, since 5 March 2015.
