The prime minister of the State of Qatar (Arabic: رئیس الوزراء القطري) is the second most powerful official of Qatar, who heads the Government of Qatar.

Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar from the coup d'état of 22 February 1972, was the first holder of this position from its establishment on 29 May 1970. He served as prime minister until the coup d'état of 27 June 1995, when he was deposed by his son Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

On 28 January 2020, Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani became the prime minister, as Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani resigned.[1] Following Khalid's resignation in March 2023, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani was appointed as new prime minister.
