List of deputy prime ministers of Suriname

Deputy prime minister of Suriname was a title given to a member of the Surinamese Cabinet of Ministers between 1954 and 1988, often to recognize members of other parties in the ruling coalition. The deputy prime minister served as acting prime minister in the absence of the Prime Minister of Suriname.

This position was abolished when the current Constitution of Suriname went into effect in 1988; however, its functions were continued in the extra-constitutional position of Deputy Vice President[1] from 1988 to 1990.
