The Chancellor of Albeinland, officially the First Lord Chancellor of Albeinland, is the head of government of Albeinland. The Chancellor is appointed by the monarch after general elections or after the resignation or incapacitation of the former occupant of the office, leading both the executive and legislative together with their Cabinet with its actions being accountable to the monarch and the Royal Assembly. The current holder of the office is Vincent Lloyd who was appointed by the Queen on 12 November 2018.

The origins of the office of Chancellor begins with the creation of the King's Council - the first legislative body of Albeinland who was composed by peers, commoners and the clergy with the role of advise the sovereign actions and govern the country in cases of war or regency. Although the council mostly was an advisory organ without any great powers, the office of First Lord Advisor was created in 1416 as a way to represent the entire parliament. Disputes between the King's Council and the sovereign lead to the Albish Revolution in 1663 and consequently the constitutionalist rebel victory two years later. The post was estabilished by the Common Charter as First Lord Chancellor due the necessity of a reform, with Thomas Powell being the first holder of the office.

Some privileges are given to the Chancellor due its national importance such as the official residency of 9 Loegria Street in Castelby and a high salary. Due the important position that Albeinland shares in the Astyrian geopolitical scenario, the incumbent of the office is considered one of the most powerful and influential people in the Lorecian Community and Lorecia in general.
