The Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan (Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň Ministrler Kabineti) is the chief executive body in Turkmenistan. The Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan is appointed by the President of Turkmenistan who is both the chief of state and head of government. In addition to holding specific portfolios in most cases, six deputy chairpersons (Turkmen: Ministrler Kabinetiniň Başlygynyň orunbasary, but colloquially also called wise-premýer) of the Cabinet of Ministers may also be assigned responsibility for oversight of a province of Turkmenistan or of the capital city.
The head of one state corporation ("state concern"), Türkmengaz, also holds ministerial rank, and is styled "minister of state" (Turkmen: döwlet ministri).
