The Chancellor of the Imperial Britannic Federation is the head of government of the Imperial Britannic Federation, a vast federal union of approximately fifty-six member states. As the executive head of the federation, the chancellor is responsible for the federation's day-to-day operations.
The office was first founded on 25 June 1937, in line with the founding of the Imperial Britannic Federation, which came about following extensive negotiations and discussions at the 1937 Imperial Conference in London, where leaders from the United Kingdom, Australia, Burma, Canada, Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, and India, collectively agreed on the formation of a single, wide-spanning federal union as a popular and viable alternative to the existing colonial structure of the British Empire, as well as a response to the gradual rise in popularity of decolonisation in Britain's many overseas colonies. With the office being an elected position, a general election would be held every five years to determine the officeholder, whom is entitled to a maximum of ten years in office. In 1937, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Neville Chamberlain was elected as the first Chancellor of the Imperial Britannic Federation. Since then, fifteen individuals from different member states have come to assume the office, with the current officeholder being Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, the first woman and the first New Zealander to assume the office.
