The McCreight ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from November 14, 1871, to December 23, 1872. It was led by John Foster McCreight, the first premier of British Columbia. The ministry was established following the first British Columbia general election held in October and November 1871. It replaced an interim ministry that was selected to govern the province from August 17, 1871, until the first parliament of British Columbia could confirm an elected premier and cabinet.
