List of governors of Katanga

This list of governors of Katanga includes governors or equivalent officeholders of the Katanga Province established in the Belgian Congo in 1910, and of successor provinces up to 29 October 2015, when Katanga was split into the provinces of Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, Lualaba and Tanganyika.

[1] On 1 October 1933 the original province of Katanga was renamed Elisabethville/Elisabethstad.

The district of Lomami was transferred at this time to the new province of Lusambo (later named Kasaï), which had been formed from parts of the old Congo-Kasaï province.

In November 1961 the northern portion was reconquered by the national government and made the province of Nord-Katanga.

The province was renamed Shaba on 2 January 1972, then returned to the name of Katanga in 1997.
