The 1999 election in the Canadian province of New Brunswick marked the debut of both Camille Theriault and Bernard Lord as leaders of the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives respectively. It was Elizabeth Weir's third general election as leader of the New Democratic Party.

Theriault's Liberals were widely expected to win a fourth majority government from the outset of the campaign, but Lord's Tories were able to capitalize on the issue of highway tolls and use it to portray the Liberals as arrogant.

Following a huge surge in the final weeks of the campaign, Lord became Premier with his party winning its largest majority in the history of New Brunswick.
