A Gym Leader (Japanese: ジムリーダー Gym Leader) is the highest ranking member of a Pokémon Gym. If a trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the trainer earns that Gym's Badge.
Although similar in nature, Frontier Brains are not considered Gym Leaders and are thus not included in this list.

Trivia
- Every Gym Leader that specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon uses Geodude in battle.
- Each in-game region but Johto begins with a Gym Leader that specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon.
- Johto is the only region that did not repeat types from gyms released in previous generations.
- Even though there are 32 known gyms in the games, there has not yet been a gym specializing in Template:Type2 Pokémon. Only Poison-, Ground-, Bug-, and Template:Type2 gyms are not located in multiple regions. Each of the twelve other types has been repeated at least once, and Rock-, Water-, Electric-, and Template:Type2 gyms appear in three of the four regions.
- If the Fighting Dojo in Kanto is counted, there has been a Template:Type2 gym in each region at some point in time.
- Even though they were called Leaders in Generation I, this title did not appear in battle until Generation II.
- For DP009, Professor Oak's lecture is about Gym Leaders. He writes this Pokémon senryū about them: ジムリーダー いのちをかけて かかってこい Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi
