The governor of Albay (Filipino: Punong Lalawigan ng Albay; Central Bikol: Gobernador kan Albay) is the chief executive of the provincial government of Albay, Philippines. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the governor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former governor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice governor becomes the governor.

The current governor is Al Francis Bichara, under PDP–Laban.[1] He previously served as Member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, representing Albay's 3rd District from 1992 to 1995 and Albay's 2nd District from 2007 to 2016 and was the governor from 1995 to 2004.
