This is a list of the Premiers of Quebec, Canada since Confederation (1867).

Notes:

• The premier is always referred to as the prime minister in official Quebec government publications.

• In English, the word 'minister' comes from Old French ministre, which in turn comes from the Latin minister, meaning 'servant'. When French Canadians were introduced to British political terminology, they adopted it as is. However, they did not adopt the distinction between 'premier' (first minister of a province) and 'prime minister' (first minister of a country) as used in English Canada.
