The premier of Montserrat is the head of government of the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat. The premier is appointed by the governor of Montserrat on behalf of the monarch of the United Kingdom, currently King Charles III.

The current premier of Montserrat is Reuben Meade of the United Alliance. The premier is appointed by the governor from among the members of the Legislative Assembly, which consists of nine elected members.
