The Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Wiltshire (informally abbreviated to PM) is the head of the government of the Federal Republic of Wiltshire. The incumbent Prime Minister is Conservative Audrick Hill, who has been in office since 1 January 3019.

The office of Prime Minister was established in 3008 when the cities of Wiltshire and Walkerton unified into the Federal Republic. Jaresh Inyo served as the first, interim, Prime Minister until the first general election in October 3008. The office has both executive and legislative powers. Traditionally, the Prime Minister is the leader of the political party that can command a majority of the National Assembly.

This gives the Prime Minister large, wide reaching, powers over the legislation of the nation. In addition, the Prime Minister can appoint and dismiss members of the Cabinet and National Security Council at his own will. However, the Prime Minister must report to the National Assembly and can be removed at any moment if he looses their confidence.

In order to be appointed Prime Minister, the leader of the political party must win a confidence vote in the National Assembly. This vote occurs at the start of each session of the Assembly, and can be called by the Leader of the Opposition at any time. Once the candidate has won the confidence of the Assembly, the Governor-General appoints the Prime Minister to form a government and they take the oath of office in the Assembly chamber.

In the event the leader looses the confidence vote (either at the start of during their term), the National Assembly is given 5 days to resolve the dispute and appoint a Prime Minister to form a government. If they cannot, the Assembly is dissolved in preparation for another General Election. During the meantime, the incumbent Prime Minister remains Prime Minister.
