This research provides a comprehensive analysis of digital leadership and teachers' use of ICT from 2013 to 2023. This review explores how digital leadership influences teachers' use of ICT. Using PRISMA, a bibliometric analysis was performed on studies that relate to digital leadership and the use of ICT in teaching. The Scopus search yielded 8,797 publications, which were narrowed to 2,161 relevant articles. The study reviews publishing trends, contributions from leading countries and institutions, prolific authors, and key terms in the field. Data spanning a decade reveal a significant increase in research activity after 2019, influenced by technological advances and the global COVID-19 pandemic. Prolific authors such as Joe Tondior and Cheng Seng Zhai and dominant key terms such as “ICT” and “e-learning” shape the discourse. Spanish institutions dominate research output, while countries such as Malaysia, the United States, Indonesia, South Africa and India make notable contributions. There is dearth of research on digital leadership and ICT integration in Middle Eastern education. The global push for digital leadership in education signals opportunities for future advancement, while the scarcity of research on this topic in Middle Eastern education underscores the critical need for collaborative scholarly efforts to fill this gap and develop tailored solutions for the region.
