The Leader of Mava Council (Mavean: Taapiit Maava Puuaqat) is the presiding officer of Mava's local parliament and chair of the Executive Board. Although not officially designated as such, the leader is de facto head of government. They are elected by Mava Council and serve at its pleasure.

The post was created alongside the Council, as part of the process of instituting limited local government. The post is roughly equivalent of a state governor and the mayor of a municipality. In federal law, the position's executive functions are referred to as the Head of the Mava Islands Administration (Almagrian: Jefe de la Administración de las Islas Mava).

The current Leader of the Council is Kausaanek Malaati, who took office on 22 March 2023.
