List of current first ministers of Canada

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 premier ministre 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 Rob Lantz of Prince Edward Island, who assumed office on February 9, 2026. The oldest first minister, Tony Wakeham of Newfoundland and Labrador, is 69; the youngest first minister, Currie Dixon of Yukon, is 40. 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.

Eight first ministers are from broadly right-leaning parties, 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.
