The Regent of the Realm of the Lakes (Hurmu Norse: Riksforstondare sjooa; Lakkvian: Järvede riigihoidja; sometimes translated as Viceroy of the Realm of the Lakes) is the supreme representative of the sovereignty of the Order of the Holy Lakes in the Realm of the Lakes (Lake District) of Hurmu. The position was created in 1720 and was held by Patrik Djupvik until his assassination in 1729. In early 1730, the position was confirmed to be succeeded to by Marcus Avon-El Myksos.

In all practical senses, the position is the head of state of the Realm. It is a largely ceremonial role, with some reserve powers. The Regent plays a role in government formation, proroguing and dissolving the Thing, and in promulgating laws.
