His death was confirmed by the US, Pakistan, and the Taliban.
Four missiles struck the vehicle he was in, killing four other people.
Pakistan complained about the US launching another drone strike, in the country.
However, just days before the Pakistani government had complained that the US wasn't doing enough to help against terrorist forces.
Mehsud had been leading the Taliban, since 2009, when his predecessor was killed by a drone strike.
Officials believe that he is responsible for the deaths of more than one thousand people and for hundreds of terrorist attacks.
It is doubtful that his death will hamper the Taliban for long.
