A dijkgraaf is the chair of a Dutch water board. He is the equivalent of a mayor in local government and a Queen's Commissioner in provincial government, chairing both the legislative and executive council, while having both ceremonial and representational roles as well as his own portfolios. Literally the term means "Dike count", like other titles ending in -graaf (equivalent to English -grave and German -graf) of feudal origin, but remained a functional official.
