The deputy chief minister of Telangana is the deputy to the chief minister of Telangana, who is head of the government of Telangana. The deputy chief minister is the second highest ranking member of the Telangana Council of Ministers.{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/of-deputy-chief-ministers-and-the-constitution/article3632410.ece|title=Of Deputy Chief Ministers and the Constitution|access-date=7 November 2017|newspaper=The Hindu|date=2012-07-13|last1=Rajendran|first1=S.}} A deputy chief minister also holds a cabinet portfolio in the state ministry. In the legislative assembly system of government, the chief minister is treated as the "first among equals" in the cabinet; the position of deputy chief minister is used to govern the state with the support of a single party member or to bring political stability and strength within a coalition government, or in times of state emergency, when a proper chain of command is necessary. 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.
The first deputy chief minister of Telangana was Mahmood Ali,{{cite web|title=KCR keeps his promise; Mehmood Ali becomes first Deputy CM of Telangana|url=http://twocircles.net/2014jun02/kcr_keeps_his_promise_mehmood_ali_becomes_first_deputy_cm_telangana.html|publisher=Two Circles|accessdate=1 October 2017}} who was also Minister of Revenue, Relief & Rehabilitation, ULC, Stamps & Registration in Chandrashekar Rao's first ministry. The second deputy chief minister was T. Rajaiah,{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/telangana-deputy-chief-minister-sacked/article6821000.ece |publisher=TheHindu |date=2015-01-25 |accessdate=2015-01-25|title=Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Rajaiah sacked}} who took on the role in addition to his health ministership in K. Chandrashekar Rao's government. On 25 January 2015, the chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao dismissed Rajaiah in the wake of serious charges of corruption in his department and soon that day position of Rajaiah was replaced by Kadiyam Srihari[http://www.telanganastateofficial.com/rajaiah-sacked-kadiyam-take-health-minister/ Kodiyam Srikari: As EDUCATION MINISTER & DEPUTY CM] and he became the third deputy chief minister of the state.
The current deputy chief minister is Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka. He assumed the office on 7th December 2023.
