The Tolmie ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia) that governed British Columbia from August 21, 1928, to November 15, 1933. It was led by Simon Fraser Tolmie, the 21st premier of British Columbia, and was composed of members of the Conservative Party.

The Tolmie ministry was established following the 1928 election, in which the Conservative Party won a majority government. It governed for the entirety of the 17th Parliament of British Columbia.

The ministry was disestablished and replaced following Tolmie's defeat in the 1933 election. As of 2024, this is the last time the Conservative Party formed the government, although they were a junior coalition partner in the Hart and Johnson ministries from 1941 to 1952.
