The term minister-president (Dutch: minister-president, French: ministre-président, German: Ministerpräsident) is also used in Belgium to describe the head of government of a Belgian region or linguistic community, but not the head of the Belgian federal government who is referred to as the prime minister (Dutch: eerste minister, French: premier ministre, German: Premierminister).
Ministers of the regions and linguistic communities are not required to swear allegiance to the king but simply take an oath in their respective parliament.
The title of Hungary's head of government in Hungarian is miniszterelnök which literally translated means "minister-president".

In Norway, Vidkun Quisling, head of the collaborationist government from 1942 to 1945 during the German occupation in World War II, held the title of Minister-President (Norwegian: ministerpresident).
