This is a chronological list of every government formed by the Prime Ministers of the Republic of Turkey. A new number is allocated to each new Prime Minister.

Note: Turkish governments have frequently been formed out of coalitions - in such cases, the Prime Minister's party has been listed.

[edit] During the Turkish War of Independence

Name Took Office Left Office Leading Party
1 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 3 May 1920 24 January 1921 Republican People's Party
2 Mustafa Fevzi Çakmak 24 January 1921 9 July 1922 Republican People's Party

It's better to note that Atatürk, Çakmak, Orbay and Okyar are the Speakers of the Parliament of Turkey, -not Prime Minister - during the years of War of Independence.
