From 1809 Sweden had two Prime Ministers, each initially equal in stature: the Prime Ministers for Justice and the Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs. The former grew to be the more powerful, with the title changing to Chancellor in 1858; both offices were replaced in 1876 by a single Prime Minister. The minister for justice is listed first, followed by the minister for foreign affairs.
This is a chronological list of Sweden's leading statesmen; the dates given are the periods of said rule.
