The vice president of the Government of New Caledonia () is a political position in the Government of New Caledonia formed in 1999, after the Nouméa Accord was signed in 1998.
New Caledonia has a collegial government with 11 members elected by Congress of New Caledonia with proportional representation on party list voting, according to the rule of the highest average. Then, according to the Nouméa Accord, the 11 members elect President and Vice President among themselves.
According to the Nouméa Accord, the vice president in the collegial government system had to come from a pro-independence party if the president came from an anti-independence party and the other way round whenever the president comes from a pro-independence party. Even if the position of vice president is not filled, the government is deemed to be fully operational seven days after all government members are elected.
