The Chief Minister of Jersey (French: Premier Ministre de Jersey) is the head of government of Jersey.

The post was created by reforms to the machinery of government to change from a consensus style of government by committee of the whole States of Jersey to a system of cabinet government under a Chief Minister.

The first Chief Minister of Jersey was elected on 5 December 2005 following the Jersey elections, 2005.

Two candidates were nominated on 1 December 2005:

Senator Stuart Syvret
Senator Frank Walker

In a secret ballot on Monday, 5 December 2005, the States of Jersey elected Senator Walker to be the first Chief Minister in Jersey history, receiving 38 votes to Senator Syvret's 14 votes of support, an unsurprising result for the latter who considered himself the underdog (a concern he had expressed during the preceding weekend in an interview with Channel Television).
