While the Dalai Lama is perhaps the best known of Buddhist leaders and many westerners think of him as the leader of all Buddhists, he is in reality the leader of only the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhism has no single leader.

A list of several Buddhist leaders is at the link.
