This is a list over the heads of government in Denmark since 1848. The constitutional monarchy was introduced in 1849.

The Danish Monarch is the head of state. Each head of government has been the leader of one or more cabinets (for the complete list, see Cabinet of Denmark).

The office of Prime Minister is described on Prime Minister of Denmark. Denmark's current Prime Minister is Anders Fogh Rasmussen representing the Liberal party Venstre. Anders Fogh Rasmussen took office in 2001.

Name of the office

From 1848 to 1855, starting with Adam Wilhelm Moltke, Denmark's head of government officially had the title of Prime Minister (Premierminister). From 1855 to 1918 the title was Council President (Konseilspræsident). Since April 21 1918, the title has officially been State Minister (Statsminister). Internationally, the position is however referred to as Prime Minister. This includes the English version of the PM's webpage. In this list, the English title is used.

Notes

1. ^ Carl Edvard Rotwitt died in office. His successor was not appointed immediately.
2. ^ Thorvald Stauning died in office. His successor was appointed the following day.
3. ^ On 29 August 1943, the Danish government resigned, refusing to grant further concessions to Nazi Germany. All government operations were assumed by the permanent secretaries of the individual departments, and this arrangement lasted until the Liberation of Denmark on 5 May 1945. Since King Christian X never accepted the resignation of the government, it existed de jure until a new cabinet was formed on 5 May 1945.
4. ^ Hans Hedtoft died in office. His successor was appointed three days later.
5. ^ Hans Christian Hansen died in office. His successor was appointed two days later.
