Minnesota Lieutenant Governor

This is a list of lieutenant governors of the U.S. state of Minnesota.

Prior to the 1974 election, governors and lieutenant governors were elected on separate ballots. Marlene Johnson, elected in 1982 as the running mate of Rudy Perpich, was the first female lieutenant governor of Minnesota. All of her successors in that office have also been women.
