Crowned arms of New Zealand as it appears on the flag of the governor-general

The following is an armorial of the individuals, who have served as governor-general of New Zealand.

Almost all governors-general have been granted armorial achievements, sometimes known as coats of arms. Carved panels depicting the full achievements of former governors-general is displayed in the Tupaepae (main entrance hall) of Government House in Wellington,[1] with the most recent addition being that of Dame Pasty Reddy.[2]

The coats of arms of the governors-general from the Earl of Liverpool to Lord Galway were largely inherited, and so do not reflect on their lives or careers.[3] However, those from the 1940s onwards begin to show more elements reflecting the connections between the office of governor-general and New Zealand.[4]

Many of the armorial bearings since those of Sir Denis Blundell have been designed, in whole or in part, by Phillip O'Shea, New Zealand Herald of Arms Extraordinary.[3][2]
