The prime minister of Jordan is the head of government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Since the establishment of the state as the Emirate of Transjordan in 1921, 44 people have held the position of prime minister, several of whom have served multiple non-consecutive terms. Tawfik Abu Al-Huda served for a total of 12 years and is considered the longest-serving prime minister.

Jordan's current constitution, which was promulgated in 1951, outlines that the prime minister is appointed by the king of Jordan, whose government must be approved through a vote of confidence by the elected lower chamber of Parliament, the House of Representatives. Jordan has had one parliamentary government in its history, the short-lived government led by Suleiman Nabulsi's National Socialist Party in 1956–57.

The incumbent prime minister is Jafar Hassan, who assumed office on 15 September 2024.
