The Prime Minister of Mascylla (Hesurian: Premierminister Maskilliens), also informally referred to as the Prime Minister or PM, is the head of government of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla, the chief executive of the cabinet, and the de facto commander-in-chief of the Mascyllary Reichswehr in peacetime. The office is the highest ministry and is able to dictate policies along with his cabinet and Reichsrat, and to a broader extent, according to the views and policies of the ruling party and its coalition partners. The office is currently occupied by Thomas Falkner of the Rehunion since 16 September 2016, leading a coalition government of the Centre Party and SDP.

The Prime Minister is elected by the sitting Reichsrat upon a nomination by a political party, without debate and by secret ballot. While the Prime Minister can nominate ministers, the Reichsrat as well as the monarch either formally reject or ratify the proposed members of government. Furthermore, the Monarch ceremonially appoints and grants the titular titles and orders to a member of parliament most likely to command the confidence of a majority in the currently sitting legislature. More often, the Prime Minister also appoints a Deputy Prime Minister, though such an office is not official nor represented in the constitution. Before the end of an official term, the Prime Minister can only be removed through a motion and subsequent vote of no-confidence by the Reichsrat, which requires the body to nominate a successor by an absolute majority. In case the Prime Minister dies or resigns, the Deputy Prime Minister succeeds them in taking over government affairs while parliament is dissolved and a new government is assembled.

The office of the Prime Minister is regarded as the most influential political position in Mascylla. For that reason, Mascylla is sometimes referred to as a "Ministerdemokratie" ('ministry democracy'). However, the constitution places the Monarch (as head of state) and the President of the Reichssenat ahead of the Prime Minister in the protocol order of precedence.

The Kronenrat building (Kronenrat(sgebäude)), in central Königsreh, has been the traditional seat and official residence of the Prime Minister since 1800; the former and originally intended seat for the office, the Palais Isoldquell in Langquaid, is now used as a secondary ceremonial seat. Adensruh Castle (Schloss Adensruh) at Stakau is the Prime Minister's official country retreat, particularly used during the summer and winter vacations, and state guest house of the Mascyllary government.
