The deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is the deputy to the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, who is the head of the government of Andhra Pradesh. The deputy chief minister is the second-highest-ranking member of the Andhra Pradesh Council of Ministers.{{cite news |last1=Rajendran |first1=S. |date=2012-07-13 |title=Of Deputy Chief Ministers and the Constitution |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/of-deputy-chief-ministers-and-the-constitution/article3632410.ece |access-date=7 November 2017 |newspaper=The Hindu}} A deputy chief minister also holds a cabinet portfolio in the state ministry. On multiple occasions, proposals have arisen to make the post permanent, but without result. The same goes for the post of deputy prime minister at the national level.

In 1953, Andhra State consisted of Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. This state was carved out of the erstwhile Madras State.{{cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iBEYAQAAIAAJ |publisher=A. Mukherjee & Company|year=1963|pages=121|title=Current Affairs|access-date=13 August 2022}} Later, the Andhra state was merged with Telangana province of Hyderabad to form Andhra Pradesh in November 1956. On 1 November 1956, Hyderabad State ceased to exist; its Gulbarga and Aurangabad divisions were merged into Mysore State and Bombay State respectively. Its remaining Telugu-speaking portion, Telangana, was added to Andhra State. Andhra state formed from Madras state on 1953 oct 1. After 58 years, Telangana was carved out to form as a separate state on 2 June 2014 by Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.

Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy was first deputy chief minister since the state's formation in November 1956.[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-4973419,prtpage-1.cms Cuddapah to be renamed after YSR] Pushpasreevani Pamula was the first women to hold the post, who has served from June 2019 to April 2022.[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/andhra-pradesh-ministers-portfolios-and-profiles/article27698301.ece Andhra Pradesh Ministers: Portfolios and profiles][https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/jagan-reddy-appoints-dalit-woman-as-home-minister-of-andhra-pradesh/story-RvwRjNh10RfNpfGkq1EnnO.html Jagan Reddy appoints Dalit woman as home minister of Andhra Pradesh]

When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.Amberish K. Diwanji. "[http://www.rediff.co.in/news/2005/mar/15spec1.htm A dummy's guide to President's rule]". Rediff.com. 15 March 2005.}}
