The Government House Leader of British Columbia is a frontbench member of the Legislative Assembly from the governing political party, who is tasked with planning and organizing the government's legislative business. The position is modelled on the federal Government House Leader in the House of Commons, and was established to lessen the workload of the Premier of British Columbia, who has executive duties outside of the legislature. The Government House Leader has a responsibility to consult with the house leaders of the opposition parties' caucuses to ensure that legislative business is conducted in an organized manner.

Since at least 2009, British Columbia's government house leaders are also made members of the provincial executive council while they are serving.
