The Dosanjh ministry was the combined Cabinet (formally the Executive Council of British Columbia) that governed British Columbia from February 24, 2000, to June 5, 2001. It was led by Ujjal Dosanjh, the 33rd premier of British Columbia, and consisted of members of the New Democratic Party (NDP).
The Dosanjh ministry was in office for the last fourteen months of the 36th Parliament of British Columbia. It was the third ministry to exist during that parliament, following the Glen Clark ministry (1996–1999) and the Miller ministry (1999–2000). Dosanjh was sworn in as premier on February 24, 2000,{{Cite news |last=Lunman |first=Kim |date=February 25, 2000 |title=Dosanjh sworn in as B.C.

Cabinet shuffles
Dosanjh shuffled his cabinet on November 1, 2000.{{Cite news |last=McInnes |first=Craig |last2=Beatty |first2=Jim |date=November 2, 2000 |title=Premier picks new faces over experience |pages=A2 |work=Vancouver Sun}} The shuffle was undertaken to replace seven cabinet ministers who had decided not run in the impending election. In a surprise move, Dosanjh named Edward John, the Grand Chief of the First Nations Summit of British Columbia and not an MLA, to cabinet. John was the second indigenous cabinet minister in BC, after Frank Calder in the 1970s.{{Cite news |last=Lunman |first=Kim |date=November 2, 2000 |title=Native chief named to B.C. cabinet |language=en-CA |work=The Globe and Mail |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/native-chief-named-to-bc-cabinet/article22405004/ |access-date=July 19, 2022 |archive-date=July 19, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220719231243/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/native-chief-named-to-bc-cabinet/article22405004/ |url-status=live }}
