The lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island (/lɛfˈtɛnənt/) is the representative in Prince Edward Island of the monarch, who operates distinctly within the province but is also shared equally with the ten other jurisdictions of Canada. The lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island is appointed in the same manner as the other provincial viceroys in Canada and is similarly tasked with carrying out most of the monarch's constitutional and ceremonial duties.[1]

The present lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island is Wassim Salamoun, who assumed the role on 17 October 2024.
