List of ambassadors and high commissioners of Ghana

{{Short description|none}}

This is a list of ambassadors and high commissioners of Ghana to individual sovereign nations of the world, states with limited recognition, and to international organizations. High Commissioners represent diplomatic missions in member states of the Commonwealth of Nations and Ambassadors represent diplomatic missions in other states. The head of a diplomatic mission to an international organization is called a Permanent Representative.

Where a diplomat is accredited to more than one nation, the first country listed is the location of the Ambassador's or High Commissioner's residence, followed by other countries of accreditation, in alphabetical order.
