{{Politics of Gibraltar}}

The '''governor of Gibraltar''' is the representative of the [[British monarch]] in the [[British overseas territories|British overseas territory]] of [[Gibraltar]]. The governor is appointed by the monarch on the advice of the [[British government]]. The role of the governor is to act as the ''de facto'' [[head of state]]. They are responsible for formally appointing the [[chief minister of Gibraltar]], along with other members of the [[government of Gibraltar]] after a [[Elections in Gibraltar|general election]]. The governor serves as [[commander-in-chief]] of Gibraltar's military forces and has sole responsibility for defence and security. Although recent appointments have all been former military personnel, most being former [[Royal Navy]] or [[Royal Marines]] flag officers, Sir [[James Dutton (Royal Marines officer)|James Dutton]] resigned from the role in 2015, complaining that it was "more representational and ceremonial than I had expected".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Giannangeli |first1=Marco |title='Sold a duff' Governor of Gibraltar quits after UK fails to stand up to Spain aggression |url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/581101/Governor-Gibraltar-quits-row-Spain-Britain |access-date=1 May 2021 |work=[[Daily Express]] |date=31 May 2015}}</ref>

The governor has his own flag in Gibraltar, the [[Union Flag]] [[defacement (flag)|defaced]] with the [[Coat of Arms of Gibraltar|territory's coat of arms]]. However, at the governor's official residence (''[[The Convent, Gibraltar|The Convent]]''), the Union Flag and the [[flag of Gibraltar]] are also flown.
