The President of the Executive Yuan (Chinese: 行政院院長; pinyin: Xíngzhèng Yuàn Yuànzhǎng; Wade–Giles: Hsing²-cheng³-yuan⁴-chang³), commonly known as the Premier of the Republic of China (Chinese: 閣揆; pinyin: Gékuí; Wade–Giles: Ko²-k'ui²; sometimes as Prime Minister), is the head of the Executive Yuan, the executive branch of the Republic of China (中華民國; commonly known as "Taiwan"). The premier is appointed by the President of the Republic of China.

Before the establishment of the Executive Yuan in 1928, the premier of the Republic of China was created as "Premier of Cabinet" (Chinese: 內閣總理) in 1912. It was changed to the "Secretary of State" (Chinese: 國務卿) in 1914 and "Premier of State Council" (Chinese: 國務總理; pinyin: Guówù Zŏnglĭ) in 1916 in the Beiyang Government. In 1928, the Kuomintang (KMT) Government established the Executive Yuan and Tan Yankai served as the first President of the Executive Yuan.
