Margaret Joan Beazley, AC, KC, (born 23 July 1951) is an Australian jurist who is the 39th and current governor of New South Wales, serving since 2 May 2019.

She was the president of the New South Wales Court of Appeal, the first woman to hold the office, from March 2013 until February 2019.

[3][1] Beazley served her articles of clerkship with Winter & Sharp, and was admitted to the New South Wales Bar in 1975.

[1][10] In 2020, she was promoted to Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to the people of New South Wales, particularly through leadership roles in the judiciary, and as a mentor of young women lawyers.

Following an investigation, the Department—while not referring to a decision—thanked the complainant and promised measures to foster a "respectful" workplace culture in the office.
