The '''premier of Queensland''' is the [[head of government]] in the Australian state of [[Queensland]].

By convention the premier is the leader of the party with a parliamentary majority in the [[Legislative Assembly of Queensland]]. The premier is appointed by the [[governor of Queensland]].

The incumbent premiership is [[Premiership of David Crisafulli|that of David Crisafulli]].

==Constitutional role==
Under section 43 of the [[Constitution of Queensland]] the premier and other members of [[Cabinet (government)|Cabinet]] are appointed by the governor. They are collectively responsible to Parliament in accordance with [[responsible government]]. The text of the Constitution assigns to the premier certain powers, such as the power to assign roles (s 25) to assistant ministers (formerly known as [[Parliamentary secretary|parliamentary secretaries]]), and to appoint ministers as acting ministers (s 45) for a period of 14 days.

In practice, under the conventions of the [[Westminster System]] followed in Queensland, the premier's power is derived from two sources: command of a majority in the Legislative Assembly, and the premier's role as chair of Cabinet, determining the appointment and roles of ministers. Although ministerial appointments are the prerogative of the governor of [[Queensland]], in normal circumstances the governor will make these appointments on the [[Advice (constitutional law)|advice]] of the premier.

Immediately following an election for the Legislative Assembly, the governor will call on the leader of the party which commands a majority in the Legislative Assembly to become premier and ask them to commission a government. A re-elected government will be resworn, with adjustments to the ministry as determined by the premier.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 2015 |title=The Premier of Queensland |url=https://documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/explore/education/factsheets/Factsheet_4.3_Premier.pdf |access-date=17 July 2022 |website=[[Queensland Parliament]] |archive-date=17 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220717074140/https://documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/explore/education/factsheets/Factsheet_4.3_Premier.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{Anchor|Ministerialists and Oppositionists}}Prior to the existence of political parties within the Leglislative Assembly, to become premier, that member had to be able to command the support of a majority of the individual members of the assembly; this group of members were known informally as ''Ministerialists'', while those who did not support the member who became premier were known informally as ''Oppositionists'' (or the Opposition).

==Premier's office==
The premier has an office in the Executive Annexe of [[Parliament House, Brisbane]], which is normally used while Parliament is sitting. At other times the premier's ministerial office is in [[1 William Street, Brisbane|1 William Street]], which is across the road from the Executive Annexe.

==List of premiers of Queensland==
Before the 1890s, there was no developed party system in [[Queensland]]. Political affiliation labels before that time indicate a general tendency only. Before the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, political parties were more akin to parliamentary factions, and were fluid, informal and disorganised by modern standards.
