List of governors of the Leeward Islands

The Leeward Islands was originally created as a colony of England in 1671, continuing in existence until its dissolution in 1816.

In 1833 a number of island colonies were grouped together under a single governor once again.

The office of Governor of the Leeward Islands remained in existence after the establishment of the Federation of the West Indies in 1958 until finally being abolished with effect from 1 January 1960.

In 1833 the colonies of Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica, Montserrat, Nevis, St Kitts, and the Virgin Islands were brought together under the Governor of Antigua.

†Physiographically, these continental islands are not part of the volcanic Windward Islands arc, although sometimes grouped with them culturally and politically.
