The prime minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain (Arabic: رئيس مجلس الوزراء في مملكة البحرين, romanized: Raʼīs Majlis al-Wuzarāʼ fī Mamlakat al-Baḥrayn), who is the country's head of government, is directly appointed by the king. The constitution does not require the prime minister to be an elected member of the Council of Representatives.

Since becoming independent, Bahrain has only had two prime ministers: Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the king's paternal uncle, and Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the crown prince. Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa died on 11 November 2020.

Before becoming prime minister, Prince Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa held the positions of deputy king, crown prince, and heir apparent. He served as the First Deputy Prime Minister from March 2013 until November 2020.

The current deputy prime minister is Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa.
