Australiens premierministre

Australiens premierminister er regeringsleder i Commonwealth of Australia, på vegne af Australiens generalguvernør. Selvom Australiens forfatning giver megen udøvende magt til generalguvernøren, anvendes den generelt kun efter samråd med premierministeren. Premierministeren udpeges af Generalguvernøren efter indstilling fra Australiens Parlament, hvorfra den pågældende har opbakning fra et flertal eller er leder af det største parti eller koalition af partier.

Australien er et konstitutionelt monarki, og den britiske dronning Elizabeth II er også dronnning af Australien (og dermed Australiens formelle statsoverhoved), en rolle, som er adskilt fra hendes rolle som dronning af Storbritannien.

Embedet som premierminister er i praksis Australiens mest magtfulde embede. På trods af embedets magtfulde position er premierministerembedet ikke beskrevet og defineret i Australiens forfatning, og embedet og de dermed forbundne opgaver udøves i henhold til en ikke skriftligt defineret politisk og statsretslig praksis.

Australiens nuværende premierminister er Anthony Albanese fra Labor, der afløste Scott Morrison fra det Liberale Parti på D. 22. maj 2022.
