The Government of New Brunswick (French: Gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick) refers to the provincial government of the province of New Brunswick. Its powers and structure are set out in the Constitution Act, 1867.

The Province of New Brunswick is now governed by a unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, which operates in the Westminster system of government minus the bicamerality. The political party that, either by itself or in combination with another party supporting them, wins the largest number of seats in the legislature normally forms the government with the party's leader becoming premier of the province, i.e., the head of the government.

Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick

The functions of the Sovereign, King Charles III, King of Canada, are known in New Brunswick as the King in Right of New Brunswick, and exercised by the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick. The Lieutenant Governor is appointed by the Governor General of Canada on the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Canada, in consultation with the Premier of New Brunswick.
