List of Polish Prime Ministers
(Redirected from Prime minister of Poland)
This is a list of Prime Ministers of Poland.
The full name of the office is the President (or Chairman) of the Council of Minsters (in Polish Prezes Rady Ministrów), but this version is very rarely used in English. In Polish it's commonly called Premier. Up to 1922, Prime Minister was called President of the Ministers (Prezydent Ministrów).
