The Chief Minister of Haryana is the chief executive of the Indian state of Haryana. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Haryana Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that they have the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is not subjected to any term limits.

Eleven people have served as the state's chief minister since Haryana's formation in 1966. The first was B. D. Sharma of the Indian National Congress party. Bhajan Lal Bishnoi is Haryana's longest-serving chief minister; he held office for 11 years and 10 months (4317 days). Devi Lal, the fifth chief minister of Haryana, went on to twice serve as Deputy Prime Minister of India, under prime ministers V. P. Singh and Chandra Shekhar. Om Prakash Chautala served the most discontinuous stints as Chief Minister (four), as a member of three different parties. The incumbent chief minister is Nayab Singh Saini, the second officeholder from the Bharatiya Janata Party, who was sworn in on 12 March 2024.
