The governor of Wyoming is the head of government of Wyoming, and the commander-in-chief of the U.S. state's military department.

The gubernatorial term has been set at four years since statehood. Originally, a governor could be elected any number of times. Since a 1992 referendum, governors have been limited to eight years in office during any 16-year period—effectively limiting them to two consecutive terms.
