Jeremy Page Rockliff MP (born 5 February 1970) is an Australian politician currently serving as the 47th premier of Tasmania. Rockliff's premiership began in 2022 following the resignation of Peter Gutwein. He previously served as deputy premier from 2014 to 2022.

Rockliff was raised in Sassafras, Tasmania, and was a farmer before entering politics. He was first elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly at the 2002 state election, representing the division of Braddon. He was elected deputy leader of the Liberal Party in 2006 and served as deputy premier from 2014 to 2022 in the governments of Will Hodgman and Peter Gutwein. Rockliff replaced Gutwein as premier in 2022. His party lost its parliamentary majority in 2023. He subsequently called an early election in 2024 and remained as premier in minority government after securing confidence and supply from minor parties and independents.

In 2025, Rockliff called another early election after the House of Assembly passed a no-confidence motion in his government. The Liberal Party increased its primary vote and remained the largest party, with Rockliff forming another minority government after the election with the support of independents. Key issues of his tenure as premier have included the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, the construction of new Bass Strait ferries, and the Tasmanian AFL bid and Macquarie Point Stadium.
