List of Governors-General of Australia

The following is a list of the Governors-General of Australia from the establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia as a Federation in 1901 to the present day.

The office of Governor-General was previously used during colonial times in Australia. Sir Charles FitzRoy (Governor of New South Wales from 1846–1855) and Sir William Denison (Governor of New South Wales from 1855–1861) also carried the additional title of Governor-General because their jurisdiction extended to other colonies in Australia.
