This is a list of '''Viceroys of Grenada''' from the establishment of French rule in 1649 until its independence from the United Kingdom in 1974. Following independence, the viceroy of [[Grenada]] ceased to represent the British monarch and British government, and ceased to be a British person, instead the new vice regal office, renamed to [[Governor-General of Grenada]] represented (and to this day, represents) the [[Monarchy of Grenada|Monarch of Grenada]], and the person holding the office must be a Grenadian citizen.
