The prime minister of the Netherlands (Dutch: Minister-president van Nederland) or, before 1945, the chairman of the Council of Ministers (Dutch: voorzitter van de ministerraad) is the head of government of the Netherlands. While the monarch is the de jure head of government, in practice the prime minister occupies this role as chair of the Council of Ministers, coordinating its policy with the rest of the cabinet. The prime minister also represents the Netherlands in the European Council, participating in deliberations that define the European Union's overall political direction. Rob Jetten is the current prime minister since 23 February 2026.
