The Beaven ministry was the combined Cabinet that governed British Columbia from June 13, 1882, to January 29, 1883. It was led by Robert Beaven, the sixth premier of British Columbia. Beaven, a member of the preceding second Walkem ministry, had been named the new premier after George Anthony Walkem resigned as premier to accept a judicial appointment. Beaven led his government into the 1882 general election but it fared poorly. After attempting to carry on in office with a reduced number of supporters, Beaven lost a motion of no confidence. The ministry was thus replaced by the Smithe ministry.
