The governor of San Luis Potosí exercises the role of the executive branch of government in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí, per the Political Constitution of the Free and Sovereign State of San Luis Potosí.

The official title is Gobernador Constitucional del Estado Libre y Soberano de San Luis Potosí (Governor of the Free and Sovereign State of San Luis Potosí).

The governor is democratically elected for a term of six years, and cannot be re-elected.

The state of San Luis Potosí was established in 1824 as one of the original states of the Mexican federation, and has thus survived all the varying historic systems of the Mexican government.

San Luis Potosí was a "Department", and as such, the title of the executive varied as well.
