The current Deputy Prime Ministers are Vice Senior General Soe Win, General Maung Maung Aye, General Mya Tun Oo, Admiral Tin Aung San, Win Shein and Than Swe.

The position of Prime Minister was created in 1948, with the adoption of the Burmese Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom.

Due to the country's long period of military rule, it has not been uncommon for the prime minister to be a serving (or recently retired) military officer.

On 1 August 2021, State Administration Council formed the caretaker government and vice chairman of SAC became Deputy Prime Minister.
