Colonial and territorial governors by century:
See also:

This is a list of territorial governors in the 18th century (1701–1800) AD, such as the administrators of colonies, protectorates, and other dependencies. Where applicable, native rulers are also listed.

A dependent territory is normally does not have full political independence or sovereignty as a sovereign state yet remains politically outside of the controlling state's integral area.[1] The administrators of uninhabited territories are excluded.
