List of county governors of Hordaland

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).

In 1662, a stiftamtmann was named for Bergenhus stiftamt (see List of Diocesan Governors of Bergen).

In 1763, the northern part of the county was split off to become Nordre Bergenhus amt and the southern part that remained was renamed Søndre Bergenhus amt.

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.
