Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire

This is a list of people who have served as Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire. The Lord Lieutenant is the King's personal representative in each county of the United Kingdom. Historically the Lord Lieutenant was responsible for organising the county's militia, but it is today a largely ceremonial position, usually awarded to a retired notable, military officer, nobleman, or businessman in the county.

The current office-holder is Amanda Parker of Browsholme Hall, the first woman to ever have been appointed to the position.

A deputy lieutenant of Lancashire is commissioned by the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire. Deputy lieutenants support the work of the lord-lieutenant.

Their appointment does not terminate with the changing of the lord-lieutenant, but they usually retire at age 75.

As of April 2025 there are 42 deputy lieutenants of Lancashire, including Bill Beaumont, Edwin J. Booth, John Cater, and Charles Hadcock, Thomas Woodcock: a full list is available on the Lancashire Lieutenancy website. They include
