The '''Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh''' is the principal minister in chief of the [[Government of Uttar Pradesh]]. As per the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governor (India)|governor]] is the state's ''[[de jure]]'' head, but ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly]], the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no [[term limit]]s.<ref name="term1" />

On [[Republic Day (India)|26 January 1950]] [[Govind Ballabh Pant]], Premier of [[United Provinces (1937–50)|United Provinces]], became the first Chief Minister of the newly renamed Uttar Pradesh. Including him, 11 out of UP's 21 chief ministers belonged to the [[Indian National Congress]]. Among these is [[V. P. Singh]], a future [[Prime Minister of India]], as was [[Charan Singh]] of the [[Rashtriya Lok Dal]]. On ten occasions, most recently in 2002, the state has come under [[President's rule]], leaving the office of chief minister vacant. UP has also had two [[List of female Indian chief ministers|women chief ministers]]—[[Sucheta Kripalani]] and [[Mayawati]]. [[Akhilesh Yadav]] of the [[Samajwadi Party]] served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh from 2012 to 2017; having taken the oath at 38 years of age, he is the youngest person to have held the office. Only two [[Chief Minister]]s completed their official tenure of five years, first being [[Sampurnanand]] and the second being [[Akhilesh Yadav]].

[[Yogi Adityanath]] of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] is serving as the [[List of current Indian chief ministers|incumbent chief minister]] since March 19, 2017.

== Oath as the state chief minister ==
The Chief Minister serves 5 years in the office. The following is the Oath of the Chief Minister of Uttar Pardesh:
{{Blockquote|text= I, <Name of Chief Minister>, do swear in the name of God/solemnly affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as a Minister for the State of Uttar Pradesh and that I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the Constitution and the law without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.|sign=|source=}}

== Premier of United Provinces (1937-50) ==
The [[United Provinces (1937–50)|United Provinces]], headquartered in [[Allahabad]] was a province of [[British India]] that comprised present day [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Uttarakhand]]. Under the [[Government of India Act 1935]], a bicameral legislature was set up with a legislative assembly and a legislative council.
