This article lists the administrators of Allied-occupied Germany, which represented the Allies of World War II in Allied-occupied Germany (German: Alliierten-besetztes Deutschland) from the end of World War II in Europe in 1945[1][2][3] until the establishment of West Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG; German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland) and East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR; German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR) in 1949.[4]

Allied occupation zones in Germany, 1945–1949.
