The '''Chief Minister of Rajasthan''' is the [[head of government|chief executive]] of the [[India]]n state of [[Rajasthan]]. In accordance with the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governors of states of India|governor]] is a state's ''[[de jure]]'' head, but ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority rests with the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]]. Following elections to the [[Rajasthan Legislative Assembly]], the [[Governor of Rajasthan|state's governor]] usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the [[Government of Rajasthan|government]]. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given 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" />

From 1949, 13 people have been Chief Minister of Rajasthan. [[Vasundhara Raje Scindia]] of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] is only female to serve as the chief minister of the state. After securing majority in [[2018 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election|2018 assembly election]], [[Ashok Gehlot]] of the [[Indian National Congress]] assumed office on 17 December 2018.

| ''Vacant''{{efn|name=PR|[[President's rule]] may be imposed when the "government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution", which often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly. When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.<ref>Amberish K. Diwanji. "[http://www.rediff.co.in/news/2005/mar/15spec1.htm A dummy's guide to President's rule]".
