Deputy Premier (Canada)

In Canada, a deputy premier is the deputy head of government of a province or territory. As of March 2025^[update], every province and territory has a deputy premier in office.

As the prime minister–premier distinction does not exist in French, the federal and provincial deputy first ministers are styled as vice-premier ministre (masculine) or vice-première ministre (feminine).
