Governors of Spanish Honduras

This is a list of Colonial Governors of Honduras. The first governor who ruled this colony was Álvaro de Saavedra Cerón between 1525 and 1526, although Honduras was not conquered and pacified until 1536 by Pedro de Alvarado.

During the Honduras´s colonial period, the territory went through three periods: In the first (1525 - 26 Jun 1787), the people who ruled Honduras were recognized as Governors. In the second period (26 Jun 1787 - 1812), Honduras was ruled by so called Governor-Intendants, while in the third period (4 February 1812 - 28 September 1821), Honduras was ruled from Guatemala. So, the people who ruled Honduras in this period were Mayors.

Since 1812, the Governors of Honduras became, just, in Mayors, because Honduras was ruled from Guatemala.
