The Dosanjh ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia) that governed British Columbia from February 24, 2000, to June 5, 2001. It was led by Ujjal Dosanjh, the 33rd premier of British Columbia, and consisted of members of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

The Dosanjh ministry was in office for the last fourteen months of the 36th Parliament of British Columbia. It was the third ministry to exist during that parliament, following the Glen Clark ministry (1996–1999) and the Miller ministry (1999–2000). Dosanjh was sworn in as premier on February 24, 2000,[1] with his initial cabinet following five days later.[2]

Following the 2001 election, which the NDP lost, it was replaced by the Campbell ministry.[3]
