Kazimira Danutė Prunskienė (
pronunciation ) (born 26 February 1943 in Vasiuliškė, Švenčionys district municipality) was the first Prime Minister of Lithuania after the declaration of independence of 11 March 1990 and Minister of Agriculture in the government of Gediminas Kirkilas.
She was the leader of the Peasants and New Democratic Party Union and the Lithuanian People's Party. From 1981–1986, she worked in West Germany.
She ran in the Lithuanian presidential election, 2004 against Valdas Adamkus, hoping to receive votes from supporters of impeached president Rolandas Paksas. She finished in second place in the first round and was defeated in the runoff.
Prunskienė is also a member of the Council of Women World Leaders, an International network of current and former women presidents and prime ministers whose mission is to mobilize the highest-level women leaders globally for collective action on issues of critical importance to women and equitable development.
