Governor of Córdoba is the highest authority in Córdoba. The governor is responsible for enforcing the constitution and the laws established by the regional legislature. The governor is elected for a four-year term by the people of Córdoba through popular vote.

Unlike the president, the Governor is not judged by a legislature; instead, the Office of the Inspector General is responsible for judging and removing him, either on its own initiative or at the initiative of the people. The governor does not have an official residence; however, his office is located in Nain Palace of Montería.

Erasmo Zuleta is the 48th governor of Córdoba. He was elected during the 2023 regional and municipal elections.
