This article provides a list of prime ministers of Esthursia. The prime minister of Esthursia, although not an official office until 1957, was by convention the most senior baron within the largest party or coalition of parties able to form a government within the House of Thanes. Until the 1930 general election, the House of Minister served as the senior house, as the House of Thanes was not elected before this date; and as such, the Prime Minister resided within the Ministry. George Asmont was the final Prime Minister to do this, having moved to the Barony after this election. The first Prime Minister to officially use this title was Jacob Banbury, in an 1885 treaty.
