The governor of Missouri is the head of government of the U. S. state of Missouri and the commander in chief of the Missouri National Guard. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Missouri Legislature, to convene the legislature and grant pardons, except in cases of impeachment. The current governor is Republican Mike Parson, who took office on June 1, 2018. He is ineligible to run in the 2024 election or any future election since he served more than two years of the unexpired term of predecessor Eric Greitens.

Louisiana was purchased from France in 1803, with it being proclaimed in St. Louis in Upper Louisiana on March 10, 1804, by Amos Stoddard, who remained as military commander of the region until October 1, 1804, when Orleans Territory was split from it. The remainder was designated the District of Louisiana and placed under the jurisdiction of Indiana Territory and its governor, William Henry Harrison.

The District of Louisiana was organized as Louisiana Territory on July 4, 1805; it was renamed Missouri Territory on June 4, 1812, after the admission of the state of Louisiana. It had four governors appointed by the president of the United States, including both Meriwether Lewis and William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. + Governors of Louisiana and Missouri Territory No. (Number)GovernorTerm in officeAppointed by1James WilkinsonJuly 4, 1805–March 3, 18072Meriwether LewisMarch 3, 1807–October 11, 18093Benjamin HowardApril 18, 1810–October 31, 18124William ClarkJuly 1, 1813–September 18, 1820
