Landeshauptmann

Landeshauptmann (German: [ˈlandəsˌhaʊptman], "state captain", plural Landeshauptleute), female form: Landeshauptfrau, is the gubernatorial title of the head of government of an Austrian state and the Italian autonomous provinces of South Tyrol and Trentino, corresponding to the title of minister-president or premier. Until 1933 the term was used in Prussia for the head of government of a province, in the modern-day states of Germany the counterpart to Landeshauptmann (state governor) is here the Ministerpräsident (minister-president).

Since the early modern period, a Landeshauptmann originally served as a gubernator of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire or of the Emperor himself, mainly in the territories of the Habsburg Monarchy (as for the Lands of the Bohemian Crown), later also in the Kingdom of Prussia. In the Austrian Empire, according to the 1861 February Patent, the title referred to the president of the Landtag assembly of a Habsburg crown land (called Landmarschall () in Lower Austria, Bohemia, and Galicia), who also served as head of the provincial administration. The Imperial-Royal government in Vienna was represented by a Statthalter or Landespräsident governor.
