This is a historical list of the Lieutenant Governors of Manitoba in Canada. The earlier lieutenant governors also had jurisdiction outside of Manitoba, in the adjacent territories. From 1870 to 1876 they were titled Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba and the North-West Territories, and from 1876 to 1905 Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba and Keewatin District. After 1874 the officer's duties within Manitoba were mainly ceremonial, because the province had responsible government and a premier, but was actually the head of government of the North-West Territories and Keewatin District.

The Lieutenant Governor, him or herself a recipient of the award as Chancellor of the Order, bestows the Order of Manitoba on deserving Manitoba citizens. Also, the Lieutenant Governor awards the Lieutenant Governor's Make a Difference Community Award, the Lieutenant Governor's Vice-Regal Volunteer Award, the Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Literacy, the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Excellence in Public Administration, the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Community, the Lieutenant Governor's Youth Experience Program, the Lieutenant Governor's Trophy for the Winnipeg Music Competition Festival, and the Manitoba Provincial Rifle Association gold medal in the Lieutenant Governor's Match.¹

(*) On April 9, 1872, Francis Godschall Johnson was appointed as Lieutenant Governor, replacing Archibald. His commission was revoked before he was sworn in, however, and Archibald was retained in the position for a few months longer. Johnson was usually included in nineteenth-century lists of Manitoba's Lieutenant Governors, but was dropped from the ranks in the early twentieth-century.
