For the U.S. first lady from Missouri, see Bess Truman.

First Lady of Missouri is the honorary title attributed to the wife of the governor of Missouri. To date there have been no female governors of Missouri, and all the governors' spouses have been women. The first governor of Missouri was elected and took office in 1820, the year before Missouri was admitted to the Union as the 24th state.
