The McBride ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia) that governed British Columbia from June 1, 1903, to December 15, 1915. It was led by Richard McBride, the 16th premier of British Columbia. In a break from the previous non-partisan governments, it was the first to be composed on party lines, and consisted of members of the Conservative Party.
The McBride ministry was first elected in the 1903 election. It was disestablished upon McBride's resignation in 1915, and was succeeded by the Bowser ministry.
