The following is a complete list of prime ministers of Turkey, since the establishment of that position in 1920, during the Turkish War of Independence. The prime minister was the head of the executive branch of the government along with the Cabinet. Following the 2017 constitutional referendum, the office of prime minister was abolished and the President became the head of the executive branch after the 2018 general election.

For a list of grand viziers of the predecessor Ottoman Empire, see List of Ottoman Grand Viziers.
