The Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Spanish: Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros, PCM) of Peru is the governmental organisation that oversees the Council of Ministers and coordinates and monitors the multisectoral policies and programmes of the Executive Branch, as well as coordinates actions with the Legislative Branch, the Autonomous Constitutional Bodies, and the entities and commissions of the Executive Branch, aligning priorities to ensure compliance with objectives of national interest.

It is headed by the President of the Council of Ministers (Spanish: Presidente del Consejo de Ministros), is also called the Prime Minister or Premier (form of address), who serves as head of the cabinet and as the most senior member of the Council of Ministers, being appointed by the president of Peru (pending ratification by Congress, as with all other cabinet members). Eduardo Arana Ysa serves as the incumbent President of the Council of Ministers since 14 May 2025.^[2]

The president of the Council of Ministers is not the head of government, since the president of Peru serves both as head of state and head of government. Peru is one of the few countries in Latin America (others include Cuba, and Haiti) where the position of prime minister currently exists.
