The prime minister of Bulgaria () is the head of government of Bulgaria. They are oftentimes the leader of a political coalition in the Bulgarian parliament, known as the National Assembly, and the leader of the cabinet. At times, the prime minister has been appointed by the President of Bulgaria, in order to lead a caretaker government. Rosen Zhelyazkov served as the minister since 16 January 2025 but he announced he was resigning on 11 December 2025 following widespread protests. Despite announcing his Resignation, Zhelyazkov still runs as Prime minister but in a caretaking capacity and will last until new parliamentary elections will be held in 2026.
