{{Politics of Finland}}
This is a '''list of [[Prime Minister of Finland|prime ministers]] of [[Finland]]''' since the establishment of that office in 1917.

==History==
In 1918, the [[Senate of Finland|Finnish Senate]] was transformed into the [[Finnish Government]], and the position of ''vice-chairman of the economic division of the Senate'' was transformed into the position of [[prime minister]]. [[Kesäranta]] (in [[Swedish language|Swedish]] Villa Bjälbo), located in the [[Meilahti]] neighborhood of [[Helsinki]], has been the official residence of the prime minister of Finland since 1919.

Since its independence (declared on 6 December 1917), Finland has had 75 cabinets,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vn.fi/hallitus/en.jsp |title=The Cabinet in Office |author=Finnish Council of State |publisher=Finnish Council of State |access-date=June 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101113021806/http://www.vn.fi/hallitus/en.jsp |archive-date=November 13, 2010 }}</ref> including the current one, the longest lasting being the cabinet of Prime Minister [[Juha Sipilä]], lasting 1,469 days.<ref>{{cite news |title=Juha Sipilän hallituksesta tulee kaikkien aikojen pitkäikäisin |url=https://www.is.fi/politiikka/art-2000006126157.html |publisher=Ilta-Sanomat |access-date=2019-05-31 |language=fi |date=2019-04-09}}</ref>

Before the 1980s, cabinets tended to be short lived; the [[President of Finland|president]] was the most important political figure, and he had the right to form a new cabinet whenever he wanted. From the 1980s onwards, cabinets have tended to serve full terms (although the prime minister changed midterm in a few cases, most of the other cabinet members have remained nearly unchanged) and the prime minister has become more powerful a figure than the president. Under the current constitution, the prime minister is chosen by the [[Parliament of Finland|parliament]] and only formally appointed by the president.

==List of prime ministers==
Finnish cabinets and prime ministers are numbered sequentially. A prime minister can serve as the head of multiple cabinets. For example, [[Matti Vanhanen]] is both the 39th and the 40th prime minister.<ref>{{cite web|title=Governments in chronological order|url=http://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/government/history/governments-and-ministers/report/-/r/v2|publisher=Finnish government (Valtioneuvosto)|access-date=27 March 2017}}</ref>
