The prime minister of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Прэм’ер-міністр Рэспублікі Беларусь; Russian: Премьер-министр Республики Беларусь) is the de jure head of government of Belarus. Until 1991, it was known as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic as the head of the government of the constituent republic of the Soviet Union.

He/she leads the Council of Ministers of Belarus,[1] the central government body, and is accountable to the president.
