This is a list of current state leaders, showing Heads of State and Heads of Government where different, ordered by the date they assumed the office.
States where Head of State differs from Head of Government are mainly parliamentary systems. Often a leader holds both positions in presidential systems or dictatorships. Some states have semi-presidential systems where the Head of Government role is fulfilled by both the listed Head of Government and the Head of State.
Kings and other sovereigns usually do not have or do not use a family name. European monarchs have their regnal name followed by a number. This custom can be used to a certain extent only for non-European monarchs who are not the first of their regnal name.
The list contains 365 current leaders and 3 upcoming leaders.
