[[New France]], in present Canada, had a single governor:
* [[Jacques Cartier]]: 24 July 1534 – 15 January 1541

Thereafter it had [[Lieutenant General of New France|lieutenants-general]] and viceroys:

* [[Jean-François de la Roque de Roberval|Jean François de la Rocquet, sieur de Roberval]] ({{circa}} 1500 – 1560): 15 January 1541&nbsp;– September 1543)
* ''interregnum'' September 1543 – 3 January 1578
* Troilus de Mesgouez, marquis de la Roche-Mesgouez (died February 1606): viceroy from 3 January 1578, lieutenant-general from 12 January 1598
* [[Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just|Jean de Biencourt, sieur de Poutrincourt, baron de St. Just]] (1557–1615): February 1606 – 1614

Next were a series of ''viceroys'' (resident in France) from 8 October 1611 to 1672. Later there were governors and governors-general.

The [[president of France]] retains, ''[[ex officio]]'', the title of [[Co-Princes of Andorra|Co-Prince]] in the neighboring [[microstate]] of [[Andorra]] (a post previously occupied by the king of France) and continues to send a [[List of Representatives of the Co-Princes of Andorra|personal representative]], a ''de facto'' viceroy to rule on their behalf (as does their co-ruler, the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Urgell|Bishop of Urgell]]).

The French position of "adjunct [[département]] director, delegate for the sea and coast of the [[Atlantic Pyrenees]] and [[Landes (department)|Landes]]" carries the title of "viceroy of [[Pheasant Island]]".
Pheasant Island is a French-Spanish condominium on the river [[Bidasoa]].<ref name="Richardot">{{cite news |last1=Richardot |first1=Robin |title=L'île des Faisans, le mini-royaume des vice-rois d'Espagne et de France |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/m-le-mag/article/2019/08/02/l-ile-des-faisans-le-mini-royaume-des-vice-rois-d-espagne-et-de-france_5495709_4500055.html |access-date=2 August 2022 |work=Le Monde.fr |date=2 August 2019 |language=fr}}</ref><ref name="PRMG1721017V">{{Cite French law|date in French=2017-07-20|number or usual name=PRMG1721017V|URL=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORFTEXT000035244034|full name=Avis de vacance d'un emploi de directeur départemental interministériel adjoint, délégué à la mer et au littoral (DDTM des Pyrénées-Atlantiques)}}</ref>
