Arthur Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1939.

Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1937 May 28 to 1940 May 10 as leader of the Conservative Party. Chamberlain is most well known for his policy of appeasement, a policy which would attempt to avoid another great war, but not succeed. As a result, Britain was eventually forced to declare war on Germany in 1939. Domestically, Chamberlain also oversaw the nationalization of coal, gave workers paid holidays, and improved housing. However, domestic issues took a back seat to the war. Due to the need for national unity in the government, Chamberlain eventually resigned in 1940. Winston Churchill would lead after him.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland contains England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which do not have separate prime ministers.

Australia's leader is the Prime Minister. In 1939, Australia had three different Prime Ministers.

Joseph Lyons was Prime Minister until 7 April 1939.

When Lyons died suddenly in office, Sir Earle Page was appointed by the Governor General as interim Prime Minister until the United Australia Party elected a new leader on 26 April 1939.

Robert Menzies then became Prime Minister from 26 April 1939.
