Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan

The Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan () is a government post of the Government of Uzbekistan. In the absence of the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan, the first deputy performs his or her duties as the acting prime minister. In 1991, the post was grandfathered from the already existing first deputy chairman that was part of Council of Ministers of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic.

In an absence of the first deputy, his or her functions are performed by four other deputy prime ministers who are members of the government. On June 12, 2017, the President of Uzbekistan issued a decree reducing the number of deputy prime ministers by one.
