The post of Premier in the Cayman Islands is the equivalent to Chief Minister in most British colonies. It is the highest political level that can be attained within the colonial system. The holder of that position is regarded as the head of government.

Following constitutional changes on 6 November 2009 the position was renamed from Leader of Government Business to Premier.

For a number of years the title had no official recognition, but the British government formalised it in July 2003, along with that of Leader of the Opposition.
