This is a list of prime ministers of Lebanon (officially known as President of the Council of Ministers) since the creation of the office in 1926.
Due to the National Pact, an unwritten understanding among the country's religious groups agreed to in 1943, every Prime Minister since that point has been a Sunni Muslim.
