Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhône departement (France) during Bastille Day ceremony.
Saint Margaret attracts the attention of the Roman prefect, by Jean Fouquet from an illuminated manuscript

Prefect (from the Latin praefectus, substantive adjectival form of praeficere: "put in front", i.e., in charge) is a magisterial title of varying definition, but which, basically, refers to the leader of an administrative area.

A prefect's office, department, or area of control is called a prefecture, but in various post-Roman empire cases there is a prefect without a prefecture or vice versa. The words "prefect" and "prefecture" are also used, more or less conventionally, to render analogous words in other languages, especially Romance languages.
