Bernard Makuza (born 1961) is the current Prime Minister of Rwanda. He has been Prime Minister since 8 March 2000. An ethnic Hutu, he is a member of the Democratic Republican Movement (MDR).

Immediately prior to his appointment as prime minister, Mazuka was the Rwandan ambassador to Germany. Makuza was appointed by former president Pasteur Bizimungu after the resignation of former prime minister Pierre-Célestin Rwigema, who had been heavily criticized in the Rwandan press and by other parliamentarians.^[1]
