First ladies of Nevada

First lady of Nevada is the honorary title traditionally given to the wife or spouse of the governor of Nevada. As Nevada has not yet elected a female governor, all gubernatorial spouses to date have been first ladies. On occasions when the governor was unmarried or widowed, the role of official host at the Nevada Governor's Mansion was instead carried out by a daughter or mother of the governor.

The current first lady of Nevada is Donna Lombardo, wife of Governor Joe Lombardo, who assumed the role on January 2, 2023.
