List of female viceroys in Canada

A total of twenty women have served, or are currently serving, as vicereine in Canada. An additional seven women have performed as territorial commissioners similar function to the monarch and viceroys.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as the reigning Canadian monarch. As the Queen does not always reside in Canada, her daily responsibilities in the country are in the federal jurisdiction undertaken by the Governor General of Canada and by a lieutenant governor in each of the ten provincial jurisdictions. Collectively, these individuals are the Queen's official viceregal representatives; as women, they are described as vicereine, the female variant of viceroy.

A total of three women have served as the Governor General of Canada.

A total of fifteen women have served, or are currently serving, as the lieutenant governor of a province. As of 2013, all of the provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador have had at least one woman serve as lieutenant governor. As of 2015, there are five vicereines currently serving.

In each of the three territories of Canada, a commissioner is the formal head of state. Unlike the governor general or a lieutenant governor, who are officially representatives of the Queen of Canada, the commissioners are appointed by the Government of Canada and therefore, they are not technically viceregal representatives. However, they too perform duties akin to a viceroy.

A total of eight women have served, or are currently serving, as a commissioner; one woman has served terms as a commissioner in two territories.
