An interim official or leader is a person who is filling an official role temporarily. This can be in between two other people, or when the normal person is temporarily unable to do it and somebody else must fill in temporarily or without following the ordinary protocol.

The synonymous term "acting" is frequently used as well to refer to a temporary occupant of an office or position. The primary task of interim (and acting) officials is to ensure both the stability and continuity of the institution despite the absence of a formal leader. A specific usage of this term is the interim leader in Canadian politics.
