<span class="mw-page-title-main">Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands</span> Government official in the Netherlands

The deputy prime minister of the Netherlands is the official deputy of the head of government of the Netherlands. In the absence of the prime minister of the Netherlands the deputy prime minister takes over his functions, such as chairing the Cabinet of the Netherlands and the Council of Ministers of the Netherlands. Conventionally, all of the junior partners in the coalition get one deputy, and the deputies are ranked according to the size of their respective parties. The incumbent deputy prime ministers are Rob Jetten of the Democrats 66 serving as Minister for Climate and Energy, Karien van Gennip of the Christian Democratic Appeal serving as Minister of Social Affairs and Employment and Carola Schouten of the Christian Union serving as Minister for Welfare and Civic Engagement.

In the Netherlands, a Minister without portfolio is a Government minister that does not head a specific ministry, but assumes the same power and responsibilities as a minister that does. The minister is responsible for a specific part of another minister's policy field. In that sense, a minister without portfolio is comparable to a State Secretary (staatssecretaris), a junior minister in Dutch politics, who also falls under another ministry and is responsible for a specific part of that minister's policy field. However, one distinct difference is that a minister without portfolio is a member of the Council of Ministers and can vote in it, whereas a state secretary is not. The minister for development cooperation has always been a minister without portfolio.
