List of prime ministers of Mongolia

The Prime Minister of Mongolia is the head of government of Mongolia.[1] The office was established in 1912, shortly after the Bogd Khanate of Mongolia declared its independence from the Qing dynasty during the Mongolian Revolution of 1911.[a]

From 1924 to 1992, during the Mongolian People's Republic, the official title of the head of government underwent several changes, including Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and finally, Prime Minister.
