The Head of Tambov Oblast ({{langx|ru|Глава Тамбовской области}}) is the head of government of that region of Russia.
History of office
In the late 1991, the President of Russia Boris Yeltsin appointed the first heads of the newly established post-Soviet executive authorities in the regions. On 11 December 1991 Vladimir Babenko, chief of Tambov regional hospital and people's deputy of the RSFSR, was appointed head of administration of Tambov Oblast.{{cite book |last1=Ivanov|first1=Vitaly|year= 2019|title=Глава субъекта Российской Федерации.

The title of office was changed to head of Tambov Oblast in 2022.{{cite web|url=https://tmbreport.ru/administraciju-tambovskoj-oblasti-pereimenovali-v-pravitelstvo/|title=Администрацию Тамбовской области переименовали в Правительство|website=Tambovsky Reporter|date=22 April 2022|lang=ru}}
