List of prime ministers of the Kingdom of Sardinia

The prime minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia (Italian: primo ministro del Regno di Sardegna), officially known as the president of the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Sardinia (presidente del Consiglio dei ministri del Regno di Sardegna), was the head of government of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which was de facto based in Piedmont (de jure since the Perfect Fusion of 1847) and as a result is also known as Piedmont–Sardinia, and is the legal predecessor of the Kingdom of Italy and thus of the office of prime minister of Italy.
The office was created in 1730 as Grand Chancellor (gran cancelliere). After a brief break of two years in 1740 and another after 1745, the office was revived in 1756 as First Secretary of State (primo segretario di Stato). Following another break after 1763, the office reverted back to that of Grand Chancellor between 1768–1779 and 1789–1793. The office, known in English as prime minister, was revived with the granting of the Albertine Statute in 1848 until the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
