The Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is the first minister, head of government and de facto chief executive for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Since 1949, the Premier's duties and office has been the successor to the First Ministerial position of the Prime Minister of the former Dominion of Newfoundland. Before 1964,{{citation needed|date=April 2011}} the position's official title was Premier of Newfoundland. From 1964 to 2001 this title continued to be used outside the province.

The Premier is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, as representative of the Queen in Right of Newfoundland and Labrador. He or she is usually the leader of the party that commands a majority in the House of Assembly. The word Premier is derived from the French word of the same spelling, meaning "first"; and ultimately from the Latin word primarius, meaning "primary".[2]

The current Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is Dwight Ball, since December 14, 2015.
