The premier of Nunavut ({{langx|iu|ᓯᕗᓕᖅᑎ ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥ}}; Inuinnaqtun: Hivuliqti Nunavunmi; {{langx|fr|premier ministre du Nunavut}}) is the first minister for the Canadian territory of Nunavut. The premier is the territory's head of government, although their powers are somewhat more limited than those of a provincial premier.

Unlike most other premiers who are officially appointed by a lieutenant governor or commissioner on account of their leadership of a majority bloc in the legislature, the premier, and the Cabinet, is directly elected by the non-partisan members of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, in accordance with the system of consensus government. The premier is formally appointed by the commissioner of Nunavut, who is bound to act on the Assembly's recommendation by both the Nunavut Act and convention.[http://www.assembly.nu.ca/faq Legislative Assembly of Nunavut Frequently Asked Questions][http://www.commissioner.gov.nu.ca/en/role.aspx The Role of the Commissioner of Nunavut]
