His Excellency Governor Shirtsleeves is a 1948 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay.

It was about Captain Davey, Governor of Van Diemen's Land In the early 1800s.[1]

Lloyd Berrell was among the actors in the cast.[2]

The Sunday Mail said it "just missed" and called it "a bit wooden".[3]

The play was repeated later in March 1948 and in 1949.[4]
