The chairperson of the Sevastopol City State Administration (Ukrainian: голова Севастопольської міськдержадміністрації, romanized: holova Sevastopolskoyi miskoyi derzhavnoyi administratsiyi) is the head of the executive branch of Sevastopol city. Informally, it is referred to as governor of Sevastopol.

In Ukraine, the office is an appointed position, with officeholders being appointed by the president on recommendation from the prime minister. According to the Ukrainian Constitution, the chairperson should resign after a new president is elected.[1] Since the 2014 Russian aggression against Ukraine and Russian occupation of Sevastopol, Ukrainian authorities have been unable to appoint a new chairperson.

The official residenc is located in Sevastopol.

The post was first created in 1992 as the presidential representative in Sevastopol with Ivan Yermakov appointed as the first officeholder. Yermakov previously headed the city's council and its executive committee. The post of Sevastopol city governor historically existed in the city during the Russian Empire from 1872 to 1920. During the Soviet period, the city was governed by the First Secretary of the city's committee of the Communist Party, which was dissolved in Ukraine due to the 1991 August putsch. After the 2014 Crimean crisis and annexation of Crimea, the post was abolished by Sevastopol's facto Russian authorities. The last appointed head of the Sevastopol City State Administration was Volodymyr Yatsuba, who resigned in 2014.
