The premier of a Canadian province is much like the Prime Minister of Canada. He or she is normally the leader of the party or coalition with the most seats in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick.

Prior the establishment of the office, the Government leaders prior to responsible government was the chief political position in New Brunswick.
The premier is chosen by the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
The province of New Brunswick, since being established in 1785, has had a variety of leaders. Since the 1840s responsible government has been in place and the position of Premier has been formalized.
