Hungarian Presidents and Prime Ministers

This list is comprised of Hungarian Presidents and Prime Ministers. The office of Prime Minister (Miniszterelnöke in Hungarian), the head of government, was first occupied 1848-1849 when Hungary fought for independence from the Habsburg kings. It reappeared in 1867 under the Austro-Hungarian monarchs, and has existed since then (though termed Chairman of the Council of Ministers between 1949 and 1989).

Hungary has been a republic with a President (Köztársasági elnök) as head of state from 1918-1919 and 1946-present (termed Chairman of the Presidential Council between 1949 and 1989).
