The Deputy Prime Minister of Greece (Greek: Αντιπρόεδρος της Κυβερνήσεως, "Vice-President of the Government") is the deputy of the Prime Minister of Greece and the second most senior member of the Greek Cabinet. The post is not permanent, rather it is created on an ad hoc basis. Historically, on some occasions there have been more than one Deputy Prime Ministers at the same time, who may or may not combine the post with another government portfolio.

The current Deputy Prime Ministers are Theodoros Pangalos (since 7 October 2009) and Evangelos Venizelos (since 17 June 2011) of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK).
