The Office of the Attorney General (French: Cabinet du procureur général) is a part of the government of New Brunswick.

On February 14, 2006 when Premier Bernard Lord restructured the cabinet, largely out of necessity, the basic functions of attorney general were separated from the Justice Department so as to allow Brad Green, the only lawyer in his caucus, to take on a larger portfolio.

The Department of Justice and Consumer Affairs was established taking over responsibility for "protection of the public interest" from the Attorney General.

Graham named T.J. Burke to be both Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Consumer Affairs, however in legislation to realign government departments passed on March 2, 2007 the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Justice and Consumer Affairs remained separate entities.

[2] Alward again separated these roles in 2013, when Ted Flemming was named attorney general, with Troy Lifford becoming minister of justice.
