The prime minister of Belgium or the premier of Belgium is the head of the federal government of Belgium, and the most powerful person in Belgian politics.

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