The following is a '''list of governors, commodore-governors, and lieutenant governors of Newfoundland and Labrador'''. Though the present day office of the [[Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador|lieutenant governor in Newfoundland and Labrador]] came into being only upon the province's entry into [[Canadian Confederation]] in 1949, the post is a continuation from the first governorship of Newfoundland in 1610.

==Commodore-governors of Newfoundland, 1729–1825==
The Commodore-Governor was a [[Royal Navy]] officer who was commander of the annual fishing convoy which left England each spring to fish off Newfoundland and was charged with protecting the convoys from harm. He was also responsible for various administrative and judicial functions, including assisting the [[fishing admiral]]s in maintaining law and order and compiling the annual report on the fishery for the English government. By 1818,  the [[colony]] had a significant enough permanent population to justify having a resident [[governor]].
