This is a list of Lawmen and Prime Ministers of the Faroe Islands.

The Faroese term for the function, Løgmaður (plural: Løgmenn) literally means "Lawman" and originally covered the legal function as lawspeaker, but the old title was resumed and changed to mean head of government after the islands obtained Home Rule in 1948. In recent decades the Faroese government has started using Prime Minister as the official English translation of Løgmaður, reflection the increased autonomy of the islands, but this translation does not apply to the pre-1816 office, only the modern leaders of the Faroese government.
