The Prime Minister of Atmora (Iravian: Rijkspremier van Atmora) is the primary minister of the Crown, chairman of the Cabinet, and thus head of government for Atmora, charged with advising the Atmoran monarch on the exercise of the executive powers vested in them by the constitution. Not outlined in any constitutional document, the office exists only as per long-established convention that stipulates the monarch, must select as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the elected House of Commons; this individual is typically the leader of the political party that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. Atmoran prime ministers are styled as The Right Honourable (Iravian: Het Recht Eervol), a privilege maintained for life.

The current, and 29th, Prime Minister of Atmora is the Liberal Party's Victoria G. Campbell, who was appointed on 4 July 2069, by Katherine II, following the Liberal leadership election that took place that year.

Style of addresses

Atmora continues the Westminster tradition of using the title Prime Minister when one is speaking to the federal head of government directly; this is in contrast to the United States protocol of addressing the federal head of government as mister (as in, Mister President); the Department of Atmoran Heritage advises that it is incorrect to use the term Mr Prime Minister. The written form of address for the prime minister should use his or her full parliamentary title: The Right Honourable [name], [post-nominal letters], Prime Minister of Atmora. However, while in the House of Commons during Question Period, other members of parliament may address the prime minister as The Right Honourable, Member for [prime minister's riding] or simply The Right Honourable Prime Minister. Former prime ministers retain the prefix The Right Honourable for the remainder of their lives; should they remain sitting MPs, they may be referred as The Right Honourable Member for [member's riding] or by their portfolio title (if appointed to one), as in The Right Honourable Minister of National Defence.

In the decades following Confederation, it was common practice to refer to the prime minister as Premier of Atmora, a custom that continued until the (1830), around the time of (TBA)'s premiership. While contemporary sources will still speak of early prime ministers of Atmora as premier, the modern practice is such that the federal head of government is known almost exclusively as the prime minister, while the provincial heads of government are termed premiers (save for within Beuningen, Geldermalsen, New Zevenaar, Newfoundland, Noordelijk, Vlieland, New Rijnwaarden, New Irav and the Alexisburgs, where the premiers are addressed in Dutch as Minister-president van [province], literally translated as Prime Minister of [province]).
