The Wasteland Elder is the de facto leader of their small, rundown community. Maybe it's After the End, it could be a Western frontier town fallen on hard times or even just a tent town for squatters in the middle of a city. Another common setting for the trope is an isolated area where the survivors of a plane crash, shipwreck, or (in a science fiction setting) spaceship crash are left stranded. No one elected them, they never put their name in a sorting hat, nor do they push their leadership on their people. They're simply an old survivor and respected enough that their word carries weight. And since pretty much everyone can theoretically grow old, wise, and respected enough to fill this trope, it is an equal opportunity character.
If the Wasteland Elder is not leading their community, chances are the actual mayor is either corrupt or has been forced to help the Big Bad. Classic roles for the Elder include acting as a first point of contact, quest-giver, and Mr. Exposition for The Hero in the beginning. Later they may rally the Untrusting Community to take up arms and become a Posse or on the other side inspire the protagonist to come out of their Heroic BSoD. With a little luck, their community won't be dying like animals any longer - but of course, the Elder themself runs the risk of Mentor Occupational Hazard. Some settings have the wasteland elder be a member or leader of La Résistance.
Once the Big Bad is beat, surviving Wasteland Elders usually rally their constituents to start working to improve their town, thanking The Hero for all they've done and offers them a more permanent home, mostly to set up a But Now I Must Go.
Compare and contrast Wasteland Warlord, a more tyrannical ruler of the town and who is often the villain the Wasteland Elder is helping the heroes fight.
See also After the End, Reasonable Authority Figure, Character Witness. If they have "subjects" and are homeless, they're the King of the Homeless. Not to be confused with Hermit Guru.

Planet of the Apes:
In Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Mendez XXVI leads a colony of mutated humans (the only ones in their era still capable of speech) who are hiding from the Ape Empire but are pretty malevolent toward the protagonists.
In Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Virgil is a rare non-human wasteland elder. He's an older non-biased and philosophical co-leader of the Ape colony that survived the nuclear holocaust and is sharing their sanctuary with humans (his superior is younger and not quite as wise). After Wasteland Warlord Kolp is defeated, his aide Mendez (a possible ancestor of Mendez XXVI) also becomes a wasteland elder, seeking to avoid confronting the apes and focusing on survival.
In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, after the Simian Flu decimates humanity, Caesar leads a tribe of sentient apes living in the forest. Aging ex-military officer Dreyfus leads a nearby colony of struggling humans that (due to some misunderstandings and overzealous underlings on both sides) comes into conflict with the apes.

Crossed
In Wish You Were Here, Rabb is a tough, cagey old fishermen with a Seadog Beard that's starting to go gray. He leads about thirty people in eking out a living on a previously uninhabited Scottish island and defending it from the Crossed (with a scheming former university lecturer as his self-appointed co-leader).
In the Family Values arc, Jospeh Pratt is a dark example. He leads his immediate family and a couple dozen other survivors of the Crossed apocalypse about a year after Day Zero. It ends badly due to his Egocentrically Religious attitude and Parental Incest habits.
In the '+100'' storyline, 100 years after the Zombie Apocalypse, most of the resettled American settlements are governed by elderly, generally female, leaders and "Oldwoman" and "Oldman" are leadership titles. Most, if not all, of the ones to appear onscreen are killed by the Crossed or submit to them.
Murfreesboro, a community of Muslims (whose belief system has altered somewhat over the last century) is led by a woman called the Ima'am, who seems younger than most of the other leaders, although not by that much. She's kind of a Jerkass to the protagonist and has some bad Head-in-the-Sand Management moments, and is eventually forced to surrender her power to a Knight Templar following a coup.
One Mimic side story set in 2076 features a colony led by a man named James, a rugged survivalist type who is the only one of the group who was alive during C-Day, sixty-eight years earlier.
Joe Collins is a shrewd, amiable, middle-aged man who serves as the cook and advisor for a Cosy Catastrophe camp ground of about sixty-five people hiding deep, deep in a forest. Collins' boss, Crazy Survivalist Sutter, probably doesn't count due to his relative youth and how he only established the camp to lure large numbers of Crossed into the area for him to kill (despite knowing that this will eventually lead to the camp's destruction, a fact he lies to the others about) and doesn't interact with the others much.

In the 2009 Astro Boy movie, Astro runs into what appears to be one of these in junkyard city. Turns out he's more than that, and pretty well known for mech cockfighting with an absurdly large audience, which is against Astro's beliefs. He also betrays Astro for being a robot.

The final Dark Forces Saga tie-in novel features Fort Nowhere, a smuggling settlement on an isolated desert planet. After Fort Nowhere is discovered and nearly wiped out by Imperial remnants, the survivors fall under the leadership of Griff Grawley, a gray-haired, alcoholic farmer who lives out in the desert and unsuccessfully tried to warn them about what was coming after encountering an Imperial probe droid. Taking up the job gives him some good Character Development.

The Mandalorian
In season one, the weathered-looking Ugnaught farmer Kuiil lives in an isolated desert, serves as a source of wisdom, and takes it upon himself to keep the people of the area safe from bounty hunters. However, it's hard to tell for sure if he fits the role since the rest of his community remains offscreen.
In the season two premier (and Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy, which the episode adapts in Broad Strokes), Cobb Vanth is a gray-haired resident of an impoverished Tatooine village who finds Boba Fett's armor and uses it to protect the people of his village, becoming their shot-caller and self-appointed marshal.

Emberverse: Several examples appear after the worldwide blackout.
Juniper McKenzie, who has a young teenaged daughter, leads her coven of Wiccans, the neighboring farming family, and various others in forming a new civilization.
Reverend Dixon takes charge of the nearest town to Juniper's homestead prior to his death from a stroke. He's a grouch who is intolerant of Juniper's religion, but he is capable of peacefully interacting with her, does his share of the work, and never hordes food.
Luther Finney, a farmer with children and grandchildren, provides food to the people of Corvalis to keep them from starving to death, allowing the town to survive the immediate aftermath of the Change. Afterward, he becomes a notable figure on the town council.
The Last Eagle Scout was only a kid during the Change, but is a young example of the trope a few decades later. He was on a plane that crashed in Yellowstone National Park. All of the adults from the plane died within the first few years, forcing him to undergo a Promotion to Parent despite his own injuries from the crash. The toll of it all kills him before he turns fifty.

Jericho (2006): In the aftermath of a series of nuclear bombings, small-town Colorado mayor and retired Army Ranger Johnston Greene struggles to keep his town safe and stable amidst threats like nuclear fallout, the cessation of outside food shipments, and Trigger-Happy looters. Even after he's voted out of office in favor of a more gung-ho rival, Johnston remains a force for wisdom and stability. Phil Constantino, the sheriff turned mayor of the neighboring town of New Bern, also starts out as such a character but quickly turns into a Wasteland Warlord.

Swan Song: Lots of people show up leading ramshackle communities after the nuclear war.
Former roustabout Anna McClary makes the most dialogue and confident suggestions among the people of Mary's Rest (who mostly live in dilapidated shacks). After Josh and Swan arrive, she defers to them but still has some authority.
Sister and Paul briefly end up in Homewood, a medium-sized town with a new Red Cross camp that is helping refugees. They interact with a cynical but dutiful doctor named Eichelbaum who seems to hold some authority.
Franklin Hayes, an economics professor from the University of Wyoming who spends years working to rebuild the community of Scottsbluff before the Army of Excellence ruins that with their Rape, Pillage, and Burn methods.
A bartender and hunter called Derwin holds some authority over the Dying Town of Mobery, where Sister and Paul meet Dr. Ryan.
Dr. Ryan describes how, after the bombs fell, his family, other city refugees, and lots of Native American locals formed a community on the bank of the Purgatorie River, crafting shelters in the mud and farming corn. They were led by a Vietnam vet named Curtis Redfeather, who is described as a compassionate leader, but one who was willing to run off bothersome visitors with a rifle. Those visitors were part of the Army of Excellence, and the new community of Purgatorie Flats met the same fate Scottsbluff would years later.

The Twilight Zone (1959):
In "On Thursday We Leave for Home", Captain William Benteen has done all he can to keep the V9-Gamma colonists together and keep their hope for rescue alive, but it's subverted when Colonel Sloane arrives and provides an escape from the wasteland and Benteen is less than willing to give up his role as a leader. He'd rather keep them on the desert planet, barely scraping out an existence and forever looking to him for guidance, than go back to Earth where they won't need him.
Played straight, then subverted in "The Old Man in the Cave". A town is managing to survive After the End by following the directions of a hermit living in a cave in the nearby hills, who sends his instructions through more traditional Wasteland Elder. Then a group of really asshole soldiers show up and storm the cave, revealing the hermit to be a computer that the real Wasteland Elder had been using to determine what food and areas were radioactive and therefore to be avoided. The soldiers and townspeople destroy in a fit of rage. After that, of course, they all die from not being able to tell what's radioactive or not.

DuckTales (1987): In "Bermuda Triangle Tangle," the survivors of several shipwrecks end up on an island of seaweed with a settlement run by the middle-aged Captain Bounty. Bounty is a resourceful and altruistic leader, but also an over cautious one who doesn't devote as much attention to making it back to civilization as the others would like.

Defiance: "Wasteland" might be a strong word, but Earth has been terraformed, suffered a big population drop, and been partially occupied by aliens. Nicky Riordan (an older woman with an oxygen tank) is the isolated mayor of the eponymous mining town and seems like a perfect Wasteland Elder, only her first scene has her retiring in favor of a younger mayor and it turns out that she's the Disc-One Final Boss and is trying to destroy the town to get at a spaceship beneath it.

Mad Max: Fury Road: The Keeper of the Seeds is an old woman who leads one of the only remotely civilized groups left in the Wasteland (although they aren't entirely above banditry themselves). She's a skilled warrior who keeps a bag of seeds and plants them when she can to try and make something good grow. While all but one of her companions are also quite elderly, she's the eldest by about a decade.

Black Tide Rising: Several such characters appear in the short stories, set within a few years of the Zombie Apocalypse.
In "The Road to Good Intentions," Pastor Garber is over seventy and serves as the leader for his community, an isolated town that struggles to keep out the zombies.
Munro in "Return to Mayberry" and Joe Gallrein in "Maligtor County" both set up well-defended farming collectives so they, their large families, and various neighbors and relatives can survive early on. Later, they push forward to wipe out the zombies in nearby towns and rescue people who are trapped in buildings and starving to death.
The short story "A Thing or Two" briefly features Robin, a late middle-aged woman in charge of a backwoods town that largely survives by trading with an extended family of nearby moonshiners for alcohol to use in their makeshift hospital.
The short stories "The Downeasters" and "Liberation Day" feature a Maine island with about sixty inhabitants who struggle to remain vigilant against the zombies and deal with dwindling supplies. The oldest woman on the island, wheelchair-bound Matilda Grant, is also on the board of selectmen who make decisions. She exerts less leadership than the two younger selectmen and dies of lung cancer during the Time Skip between stories, but still fills the role of a wise, elderly survivor who says things that are worth listening to.

Solarbabies:
Greentree leads the Eco-Warriors, who reside in a Hidden Elf Village with one of the world's few oases. Once, he led the battle against the Nebulous Evil Organization, but he's just been laying low and hoping to win by surviving for the past few years.
The Romani/Native American-esque Tchigani people are also hiding from the E-Police in the wasteland, although their community is far less prosperous than Greentree's. Their leader, Ivor, is only in his thirties and isn't particularly bright or pleasant. However, the group's eldest member is quite wise and approachable and is the only one who's heard of Bodhi.

There are numerous examples in the Fallout series; Killian Darkwater, the shopkeeper/sheriff/mayor of Junktown, to name one. Fallout 2 has two: The Elder (no name given) who is the de facto leader of your home village and fairly secular, and Hakunin, the old shaman who's invested in more spiritual matters. The same game also establishes that the Player Character of the first game eventually became one.

The Host (2008): Melanie's uncle, Jeb, is leading a group of about thirty-five people hiding in a system of natural caverns during the Puppeteer Parasite invasion. Jeb discovered the caverns and reserves a right to veto any votes by the rest of the community that go against his liking (with a flippant comment in the book and with his gun in the movie). However, his vetoes are all intelligent ones, and he has a fairly easy-going demeanor.

Outbound Flight: Forty-seven years after the people of Outbound Flight are largely slaughtered while trying to colonize uncharted space, Chas Uliar, Brace Trakosa, and Jobe Keely fill this role among the stranded survivors. They are the only remaining adult male survivors of the original tragedy who aren’t bedridden. The trio’s stubbornness and anti-Jedi biases cause some problems, but ultimately they never endanger the main characters.

In Tangled: The Series season 2 "The Return of Quaid" episode, Rapunzel and Vex go to Quaid, the retired sheriff of Vardaros after unsuccessfully standing up to Weasel's attempts to rise to power. They discover that Quaid has retired to beekeeping and is out of practice, so Lance and the citizens help Quaid out by pretending to be thieves, allowing the townspeople to applaud him, which works... until it's discovered that Lance and the others were in on the scheme. Later on, Vex is made Quaid's deputy and she stands up to Weasel and his chief henchman, the Collector, and Quaid comes out of retirement to help revitalize the town, now that Weasel and the Collector have been run out of town, as Vardaros starts on the path to revival.

The Day of the Triffids:
After most of the world's population goes blind, Michael Beasley (whose age is estimated to be between thirty-five and fifty) gathers a group of mostly sighted people to retreat to an island and rebuild society amidst the Apocalypse Anarchy. He's separated from the main characters soon afterward, but the success of his efforts is later described secondhand.
Former Unionist Coker forms an organization designed to pair blind and sighted people (sometimes involuntarily) to scavenge for food and to help the blind people survive better. His goals are portrayed as nobler than Beadley's but also less practical in the long term.

One Piece: Though not of a wasteland, the elder of Amazon Lily is the first one to trust Luffy, and tries to convince the other villagers to trust him while they're following the law of the land and trying to kill him.
The trope was played somewhat more classically way back in the first appearance of Buggy the Clown, although in that case, he was the elder of a perfectly normal town that had only started to take on qualities of 'wasteland' recently after being occupied by circus-themed pirates.

The Book of Eli:
Carnegie presents himself as one, running a frontier town and being one of the only people to remember pre-World War III society. However, beneath the surface, he's more of an aspiring Wasteland Warlord.
The final scene features an old man running a museum in a Hidden Elf Village located in Alcatraz prison. He is happy to provide a safe place for Eli's Bible, while also accepting Solara into the group.

Judge Dredd comes across them from time to time whenever he heads out into the Cursed Earth. During "Origins", he meets one who is several old men fused together as one who prophesies doom when a child with two heads is born in his village, although one of the other judges in Dredd's party informs him of the abnormally high radiation count in the area.

No Escape (1994) takes place in a dystopian future where hundreds of convicts are dumped on an isolated island to kill each other. The man known as The Father (a former Beverly Hills doctor convicted of murdering his wife) leads a large faction devoted to finding redemption, living off of scavenged garbage, and fighting off the marauding prisoners who reject their philosophy.

In Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Virgil is a rare non-human wasteland elder. He's an older non-biased and philosophical co-leader of the Ape colony that survived the nuclear holocaust and is sharing their sanctuary with humans (his superior is younger and not quite as wise). After Wasteland Warlord Kolp is defeated, his aide Mendez (a possible ancestor of Mendez XXVI) also becomes a wasteland elder, seeking to avoid confronting the apes and focusing on survival.

Edgar Friendly in Demolition Man is a weird version of this. The "wasteland" consists of an underground community in the sewers of San Angeles where people have gone to escape the benign tyranny on the surface. Friendly has no desire to be a leader, but he's the one everyone listens to.

Stake Land:
Each of the three featured towns holding out against the vampire hordes has an elderly or middle-aged authority figure who provides some exposition and security (a bartender, a sheriff, and a militia officer). It's unclear whether any of them are the actual leaders of their settlements, but the later two have at least some authority.
The sequel features a fortified compound run by an aging Manly Gay Battle Couple who come across as pretty good leaders.

The Power of Five: Several such characters appear in the fifth book, after a Time Skip and ten years of war, famine, and Apocalypse Anarchy.
Sir Ian Ingram is the oldest and most serious person in Holly's village (which has been spared from the recent horrors by its isolation). He is the leader of the seven-member town council and the author of the code of laws they live by. He's a sour ditherer with some Lawful Stupid moments, but the main characters are able to reason with him during his brief page time when it comes to making important decisions.
Susan Ashwood, a Blind Seer and member of the Omniscient Council of Vagueness featured in the previous books, leads a group of people living in a bunker, hiding from the Old Ones and their servants.
Fifty-ish Major Michael Higham is the leader of a village eking out an existence several miles downriver from Holly's village. It turns out that they've survived by becoming a Cannibal Clan.

The three leaders of Sparks, Mary, Ben, and Wilmer, have a Nice Mean And In Between dynamic and struggle to balance the welfare of their people with the needs of the refugees from the underground Hidden Elf Village of Ember (something Ben voices increasing unhappiness with).

Batman: No Man's Land:
Dr. Leslie Thompkins, a contemporary of Batman's parents, is a respected figure who runs a refugee camp providing medical aid and other vital supplies to the people of Gotham after the city is ravaged by an earthquake and abandoned by the government for a year.
One-Shot Character Sarge Riley is a respected neighborhood elder who helps the people of his community by standing up to the Wasteland Warlords (albeit with an occasional Know When to Fold 'Em moment) and discretely distributing canned food from his Cold War bomb shelter to refugees.
Father Papaleo, an elderly, wheelchair-bound clergyman, serves as the co-leader of a pacifistic group and is arguably more worldly and practical than their leader, Father Chris.

King Damas in Jak 3 fits this trope to a T, except for the fact that, as a Proud Warrior Race Guy, he and the citizens of Spargus City have taken up arms against the Marauders long before the main character arrives. And the fact that he doesn't survive to see the rebuilding.

Star Wars Legends:
The final Dark Forces Saga tie-in novel features Fort Nowhere, a smuggling settlement on an isolated desert planet. After Fort Nowhere is discovered and nearly wiped out by Imperial remnants, the survivors fall under the leadership of Griff Grawley, a gray-haired, alcoholic farmer who lives out in the desert and unsuccessfully tried to warn them about what was coming after encountering an Imperial probe droid. Taking up the job gives him some good Character Development.
Outbound Flight: Forty-seven years after the people of Outbound Flight are largely slaughtered while trying to colonize uncharted space, Chas Uliar, Brace Trakosa, and Jobe Keely fill this role among the stranded survivors. They are the only remaining adult male survivors of the original tragedy who aren’t bedridden. The trio’s stubbornness and anti-Jedi biases cause some problems, but ultimately they never endanger the main characters.

Firefly: "Safe" features a run-down religious community on the fringes of a frontier planet. The village leader initially comes across as a Reasonable Authority Figure when his lunatic followers decide to Burn the Witch! (or rather, the psychic), but it's implied that he killed his predecessor to get the job and changes his tune when River (the psychic) comes close to revealing this.

Revolution:
The pilot episode is set fifteen years after a seemingly permanent worldwide blackout. The Decoy Protagonist (he's killed when a Wasteland Warlord tries to arrest him and the community puts up a fight) is former scientist Ben Matheson, who isn't really old but has young adult children. Ben is the leader a burgeoning Wisconsin farming community with a teacher, a doctor, and a gun or two.
Season two introduces Gene Porter, Ben's father-in-law, a Frontier Doctor and civic leader of a small, imperiled Texas community.

The Sheriff of Pineview (a tough and cagey man), the mayor of Benning (who is eager to seize signs of a better future), and the bedraggled mayor of Bridge City (an implied Celebrity Survivor) are all middle-aged leaders who get along decently with The Postman and work hard for the sake of their communities.
