List of Prime Ministers of Belgium

This is a list of Prime Ministers of Belgium, known regionally as: "Premier Ministre" in French, "Eerste Minister" in Dutch, and "Premierminister" in German.

Although Leaders of Government (French: "Chefs de Cabinet") had been appointed since the independence of the country, until 1918 the King often presided over the Council of Ministers, so the modern era of the "Premiership" started after WWI with Léon Delacroix.
