The Harcourt ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia) that governed British Columbia from November 5, 1991, to February 22, 1996. It was led by Mike Harcourt, the 30th premier of British Columbia, and consisted of members of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

The Harcourt ministry was established following the 1991 British Columbia general election, in which the NDP won a majority government. It governed for the majority of the 35th Parliament of British Columbia, until Harcourt announced his resignation in November 1995, pending a leadership election.[1] The Harcourt ministry was disestablished on February 22, 1996, and succeeded by the Glen Clark ministry.[2]
