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, as well as the other Commonwealth realms and any subdivisions thereof, and resides predominantly in his oldest realm, the United Kingdom. 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 Antoinette Perry, who assumed the role on 20 October 2017.
