The minister-president of Rhineland-Palatinate (German: Ministerpräsident des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz), is the head of government of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The position was created in 1946, through the unification of the southern part of the Prussian Rhine Province, the Bavarian administrative district Circle of the Rhine and western parts of Hesse like Rheinhessen to form the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The current minister-president is Alexander Schweitzer, heading a coalition government between the Social Democrats, Greens and the FDP. Schweitzer succeeded Malu Dreyer in 2024.
The office of the minister-president is known as the State Chancellery (German: Staatskanzlei) and is located in the capital of Mainz, along with the rest of the cabinet departments.
