LIST OF PRIME MINISTERS OF ICELAND


Note about the coloring: Every combination which appears at least twice has been assigned a color. The Conservative Party is an ancestor of the Independence Party and here counted as such.

Note about Magnús Guðmundsson: Jón Magnússon died 23 June 1926 . Magnús Guðmundsson acted as PM until Jón Þorláksson could be reached. Officially the third cabinet of Jón Magnússon is said to have been in office until 8 July 1926 , but as the PM was dead, it seemed proper to include the acting PM in the list.
