This is a list of the County Governors of Agder county in Norway. The office of County Governor is a government agency of the Kingdom of Norway. The title was Amtmann (before 1919) and then Fylkesmann (after 1919).

Agder county (with its current borders) was established on 1 January 2020 after the merger of the old Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder counties. In anticipation for this merger, the government of Norway merged the offices of County Governor of Aust-Agder and County Governor of Vest-Agder into one office starting on 1 January 2016.[1]

The county governor is the government's representative in the county. The governor carries out the resolutions and guidelines of the Storting and Government. This is done first by the county governor performing administrative tasks on behalf of the ministries. Secondly, the county governor also monitors the activities of the municipalities and is the appeal body for many types of municipal decisions.
