The Secretary-General of the Hanoverian Union is the presiding officer of the Executive Council of the Hanoverian Union, the legislative body of the Hanoverian Union, a politico-economic union comprising the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Formed in line with the organisation's founding in 1946, the secretary-general is mainly tasked with presiding over the affairs of the Executive Council, which usually sets out and ratifies the organisation's agenda. Since its foundation, the office of secretary-general has traditionally rotated among the organisation's three member states every five years, with the office normally going to the deputy prime minister of the chosen country, with the current officeholder being Sigrid Kaag, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

Given that the office traditionally rotates between the organisastion's three member states every five years, there is therefore no fixed residence for the secretary-general, with the designated residence often depending on the country chosen for the office at any given moment, with the current secretary-general's residence being the Torentje in The Hague, Netherlands.
