Prime Minister of Myanmar

The **Prime Minister of Myanmar** is the head of the government of Myanmar and the chief executive authority of the national government. The prime minister is also the commander in chief of the Armed Forces.

The office ended on 30 March 2011, according to the current Constitution of Myanmar (adopted in 2008). It said that the president is both the head of state and head of government. however, the military coup of 2021 put the Chairman of the State Administration Council into the highest position. He is the _de facto_ head of government, and the president is now the nominal head of state.

The office was created again on 1 August 2021 with Min Aung Hlaing forming a caretaker government.
