The first Walkem ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from February 11, 1874, to January 27, 1876. It was led by George Anthony Walkem, the third premier of British Columbia. This ministry was the first of two cabinets led by Walkem, as he lost a vote of no-confidence in 1876 but was reinstated to the position following the 1878 British Columbia general election, forming the second Walkem ministry.

New portfolios

On March 2, 1874, the portfolio of Minister of Mines was created; John Ash was named the inaugural minister. However, this was not a separate position as such, and could only be held in jointly with another portfolio. This remained the case until 1899.
