Beverly Eaves "Bev" Perdue is the current lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina and President of the North Carolina State Senate.

Born in Grundy, Virginia, Perdue earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky; she then earned a master's degree in education and a doctoral degree in administration from the University of Florida. She worked in the fields of education and health care before entering politics.

Perdue, a Democrat, served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 1986 to 1990, and the North Carolina Senate from 1990 to 2000. In 2000, she defeated Republican Betsy Cochrane for the lieutenant governor's seat, becoming North Carolina's first female lieutenant governor; she was re-elected to a second term in 2004 and is widely viewed as a potential gubernatorial or U.S. Senate candidate for 2008.

Perdue makes her home in New Bern, North Carolina.
