This is a list of the premiers of the province of Manitoba, Canada, since it was created in 1870. Manitoba uses a unicameral Westminster-style parliamentary government, in which the premier is the leader of the party that controls the most seats in the Legislative Assembly. The premier, sometimes called the prime minister, acts as Manitoba's head of government, while the Queen of Canada acts as its head of state and is represented by the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. The premier picks a cabinet from the elected members to form the Executive Council of Manitoba, and presides over that body.

Members are first elected to the legislature during general elections. General elections must be conducted every five years from the date of the last election, but the premier may ask for early dissolution of the legislative assembly. An election may also happen if the Governing party loses the confidence of the legislature, by the defeat of a supply bill or tabling of a confidence motion.

This article only covers the time since the province was created in 1870. Prior to that, the territory was loosely controlled by the British Crown.

Until 1888, Manitoba did not use a party system. After that date in the table, red bordered images denote the Liberal Party of Manitoba, blue denotes the various parties that led to the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba, pink denotes the Progressive Party of Manitoba, and orange denotes the Manitoba New Democratic Party.
