A village head, village headman or village chief is the leader of a village, hamlet, or other type of settlement too small to have their own mayor. Unlike the position of mayor, denoting a leader of a city, town or other large settlements with its own incorporated government, the title of village head may be purely ceremonial or even entirely unofficial, simply denoting an individual which commands sizeable political and social influence in a given area.
