Simon Fraser Tolmie, PC (25 January 1867 – 13 October 1937) was a veterinarian, farmer, politician, and the 21st premier of British Columbia, Canada.

His maternal ancestry was Métis and representative of the marriages of First Nations women and French and Scottish men who worked in the fur trade.

Tolmie acceded to the request from the business community that a royal commission be established to propose solutions to the province's increasingly dire financial situation.

The Kidd Report, issued in 1932, recommended such sharp cuts to social services that mainstream British Columbians were enraged.

They had come to expect more from their provincial government than its traditional functions of maintaining law and order, providing physical infrastructure and encouraging private enterprise.

[citation needed] The strained situation took its toll on the provincial party, which became so wracked by internal discord that the executive decided to run no candidates in the 1933 election.
