List of premiers by province

Canada is a federation that comprises ten provinces and three territories. Its government is structured as a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with a monarch as its sovereign and a Prime Minister as its head of government. Each of the country's provinces and territories also has a head of government, called premier in English. Collectively, the federal Prime Minister and provincial and territorial premiers are referred to as first ministers. In French, the term Script error: No such module "Lang". is used in both the federal and provincial/territorial contexts.

The longest-serving current first minister is Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, who assumed office on February 2, 2018; the newest first minister is Bloyce Thompson of Prince Edward Island, who assumed office on December 12, 2025. The oldest first minister, Tony Wakeham of Newfoundland and Labrador, is Script error: No such module "age".; the youngest first minister, Currie Dixon of Yukon, is Script error: No such module "age".. Of the current first ministers, two (Danielle Smith of Alberta and Susan Holt of New Brunswick) are women and two (Wab Kinew of Manitoba and R.J. Simpson of the Northwest Territories) are Indigenous.[note 1]

Eight first ministers are from broadly right-leaning parties,[note 2] while two are from both broadly centrist "Liberal" parties and broadly left-leaning "New Democratic" parties. The premiers of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are non-partisan within consensus government systems.

Current first ministers of Canada

Premiers are listed in accordance with the provincial order of precedence: provinces before territories, and by order of joining confederation within those categories; where multiple jurisdictions joined confederation in the same year, they are ordered by population at the time of joining. Incumbency is current as of May 9, 2026. Template:Sticky header
