This is a '''list of leaders of dependent territories'''. A [[dependent territory]] is a [[Territory (country subdivision)|territory]] that does not possess full political [[independence]] or [[sovereignty]] as a [[sovereign state]] yet remains politically outside of the controlling state's integral area.<ref>{{sourcetext|source=United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514}}</ref> This latter condition distinguishes a dependent territory from an [[autonomous region]] or [[administrative division]], which forms an integral part of the 'parent' state. |
