Below is a list of governors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province, or NWFP).
The office of the governor was first established in 1932 during the British colonial period, and has continued through the independence of Pakistan in 1947 to the present day.
Following Pakistan's independence in 1947, the NWFP became a province of Pakistan.
It was dissolved to form a unified province of West Pakistan in 1955 upon promulgation of One Unit Scheme and was reestablished in 1970.
In 2010, the NWFP was renamed to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
