The Governor of Sanaag (Somali: Gudoomiyaha(or Guddoomiyaha, Badhasaabka) Gobolka Sanaag) is the chief executive of the Sanaag, leading the region's executive branch.
Sanaag's territorial claims are disputed between Somaliland and Puntland, with some areas not clearly belonging to either of them. Therefore, neither the governor of Sanaag in Somaliland nor the governor of Sanaag in Puntland governs the entire Sanaag region.
