The grand logothete of Lihnidos (Lihnidosi: Μεγάλος Λογοθέτης της Λιχνίδος) is the head of the Council of Logothetes of Lihnidos. The office of grand logothete was established in 1920 with the creation of the Bouleuterion. The duties and powers of the grand logothete were originally detailed in Imperial Directive 1197 issued by Empress Selene I. Following government reforms in 1946, Emperor Athanasios VIII modified the directive and granted additional powers to the grand logothete. The Lihnidosi order of precedence lists the grand logothete as the third-highest state official after the monarch and archon.
The grand logothete is head of the Council of Logothetes and is responsible for directing the day-to-day operations of government ministries and departments and the civil service. The grand logothete advises the monarch and archon on matters of government and legislative policy. Although officially appointed by the monarch, in practice the grand logothete is the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Bouleuterion and holds office as long as they can command the confidence of the legislature.
Stephanos Anagnos of the Conservative-National Alliance (CNA) has been grand logothete since 13 May 2022. Anagnos was appointed as grand logothete by Empress Stella II after being elected as the leader of the CNA. Former grand logothete and CNA leader Fotis Raptis had previously been defeated in a motion of no confidence among CNA deputies which saw him removed as leader of the party. Raptis subsequently resigned as grand logothete.
