List of prime ministers of Spain
The Prime Minister of Spain is the head of government of Spain. There is no specific date when the office of Prime Minister first appeared as the role was not created, but rather evolved over a period of time through merger of duties. Modern historians have not managed to agree who the first Prime Minister of Spain was. However, Francisco Martinez de la Rosa was the first Prime Minister recognized by a constitutional law and Felipe González the longest-serving Prime Minister to have been officially referred to as such.
In the current modern Spain, the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain since the approval of the Constitution was Adolfo Suárez. Due to the gradual evolution of the post of Prime Minister, the title is applied to early Prime Ministers only retrospectively and so this list includes those who have been referred to with various titles. Since the reign of Philip V, the Prime Ministers have received several titles such as Secretary of State, President of the Council of Ministers, President of the Executive Power or President of the Government, among others.Kingdom of Spain">History of Spain (1810–73)">Kingdom of Spain (18231873)
