The Governor of Northern Ireland was the Crown representative in Northern Ireland. The office existed from 1922 until 1973 when Westminster took direct control of Northern Ireland because of the Troubles. The Governor had possession of the Great Seal of Northern Ireland whilst the office existed. The office was the successor in Northern Ireland to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and was replaced in 1973 by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, a cabinet office that had been created in 1972.
