Gvernatur ta' Malta
Il-Gvernatur ta' Malta (bl-Ingliż: Governor of Malta) kien l-uffiċjal li kien jaħkem lil Malta matul il-perjodu kolonjali Brittaniku bejn l-1813 u l-1964. Dan l-uffiċċju ħa post dak tal-kummissarju ċivili. Mat-tmiem tal-ħakma Brittanika u l-ħolqien tal-Istat ta’ Malta fl-1964, dan l-uffiċċju ġie sostitwit mill-gvernatur ġenerali, li rrappreżenta lill-monarka Ingliża u mhux lill-gvern tar-Renju Unit kif għamel il-gvernatur. Il-kariga ta' Gvernatur Ġenerali tneħħiet fl-1974 u nbidula bil-kariga ta' president meta Malta saret repubblika.
Il-gvernatur
Il-gvernatur, maħtur mill- monarka Ingliż (fuq il-parir tal- prim ministru Brittanniku), kellu setgħa eżekuttiva f'Malta matul il-ħakma Brittanika. Kien il-kap tal-kunsill eżekuttiv u tal-gvern ta’ qabel l-indipendenza ta’ Malta.
Il-gvernatur kien l-aktar uffiċjal b’saħħtu f’Malta.
Il-kariga tal-gvernatur kienet inizjalment appoġġjata minn logutenent-gvernatur. Pereżempju, minn madwar l-1813 sa madwar l-1820, il-Maġġur Ġenerali Sir William Hutchinson serva bħala Logutenent gvernatur.[1] Wara l-mewt tal-Markiz ta’ Hastings fl-1826, il-gvern Ingliż iddeċieda li jbaxxi l-kariga ta’ Gvernatur għal Logutenent-Gvernatur, b’allowance mnaqqsa. Sir Frederick Ponsonby inħatar formalment Logutenent-Gvernatur u Kmandant tal-Garrison ta’ Malta.[2]
