The '''chief minister of Himachal Pradesh''' is the [[head of government|chief executive]] of the [[India]]n state of [[Himachal Pradesh]]. As per the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governors of states of India|governor]] is a state's ''[[de jure]]'' head, but ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority rests with the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]]. Following elections to the [[Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly]], the [[Governor of Himachal Pradesh|state's governor]] usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the [[Government of Himachal Pradesh|government]]. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no [[term limit]]s.<ref name="term1" /><ref>Note: although the text talks about Indian state governments in general, it applies for the specific case of Himachal Pradesh as well.</ref> Chief Minister also serves as Leader of the House in the Legislative Assembly.<ref>https://apuat21.cgg.gov.in/web/legislative-assembly/leader-of-the-house</ref>

Since 1952, seven people have been chief minister of Himachal Pradesh. Four of these belonged to the [[Indian National Congress]] party, including inaugural office-holder [[Yashwant Singh Parmar]]. After his first term ended in 1956, Himachal Pradesh was made a union territory, and the office of chief minister ceased to exist. In 1963, Parmar once again became chief minister, and during his reign, in 1971, Himachal regained full statehood. Until March 2015, when he was surpassed by Virbhadra Singh, Parmar was the state's longest-serving chief minister. Between 1993 and 2017, the chief ministership changed hands every five years between [[Virbhadra Singh]] of the Congress and [[Prem Kumar Dhumal]] of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]. All chief ministers, except [[Shanta Kumar]], have been from the [[Rajput]] caste.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://theprint.in/report/jai-ram-thakur-himachal-cabinet-rajput-flavour/25190/ |title=Jai Ram Thakur's Himachal cabinet has a distinctly Rajput flavour |website=[[ThePrint]] |date=27 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Bajwa |first=Harpreet |date=9 January 2023 |title=Rajputs dominate Himachal's Sukhu team in Cabinet expansion |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2023/Jan/09/rajputs-dominate-himachals-sukhu-team-in-cabinet-expansion-2536026.html |url-status=live |access-date=9 February 2026 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>
