{{Infobox premier of Victoria}}
The premier of Victoria is the head of government of the Australian state of Victoria. The premier leads the Cabinet of Victoria and selects its ministers. The premier is appointed by the governor of Victoria and must be a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. To be appointed, the premier must command confidence in the Legislative Assembly, meaning that they must have the support of a majority of Legislative Assembly members. In practice, this is typically the leader of the political party who holds the support of a majority of lower house members.{{cite web |date=2 October 2023 |title=The Premier |url=https://www.vic.gov.au/premier |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512110757/https://www.vic.gov.au/premier |archive-date=12 May 2023 |access-date=6 October 2023 |website=Victorian Government |language=en-AU}} {{Creative Commons text attribution notice|cc=by4|url=https://www.vic.gov.au/premier|author=the State Government of Victoria|vrt=|from this source= yes}}
Each premier since 1933, apart from Ian Macfarlan, who only served for 51 days, has had a portrait commissioned for the Victorian Parliament's portrait collection. The tradition was initiated by Legislative Council President Fred Grimwade. Premiers who hold the office for 3,000 days are granted a statue as a commemoration of their legacy. Five premiers, Daniel Andrews, Henry Bolte, John Cain Jr, Albert Dunstan, and Rupert Hamer, have achieved this milestone and four have their statues near the premier's office at 1 Treasury Place.{{cite news |last1=Kolovos |first1=Benita |title=A bronze North Face jacket?

The longest-serving premier was Henry Bolte, who served from 7 June 1955 to 23 August 1972 for a total of 17 years, and 77 days in office. He was a member of the Liberal Party. By contrast, the shortest-serving premier was George Elmslie, who served from 9 December 1913 to 22 December 1913 for a total of 13 days in office. He was also the first premier from the Labor Party.{{cite news |last1=Toy |first1=Mitchell |date=21 April 2022 |title=How Victoria's first Labor premier lasted just 13 days |language=en-AU |work=Herald Sun |url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/how-victorias-first-labor-premier-lasted-just-13-days/news-story/b62ff84bf44beb9d6385627f942c285d |access-date=6 October 2023}} The current premier is Jacinta Allan of the Labor Party, who assumed the office on 27 September 2023 following the resignation of Daniel Andrews. Allan is the second female to have held the office.{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/27/new-premier-victoria-jacinta-allan-daniel-andrews-resignation-labor |title=Jacina Allan to become premier of Victoria |last1=Kolovos |first1=Benita |last2=Ore |first2=Adeshola |work=The Guardian |date=27 September 2023 |accessdate=27 September 2023 |archive-date=27 September 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230927044156/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/27/new-premier-victoria-jacinta-allan-daniel-andrews-resignation-labor |url-status=live }}
