The Chairman of the Mongolian People's Party () is the leader of the Mongolian People's Party (formerly the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party), established on 3 March 1921. With some exceptions, the position was synonymous with that of the leader of the Mongolian People's Republic, the one-party socialist state that existed from 1924 to 1992. The current chairperson is Nyam-Osoryn Uchral, who was elected to the position by the 31st Party Congress in November 2025.
Throughout time, the position has had several names:
Chairman of the Central Committee (1921–1928; 1990–1992) General Secretary of the Central Committee (1940–1954; 1981–1990) First Secretary of the Central Committee (1954–1981) Secretary General of the Party Leadership Council (1992–1997)
Between 11 December 1928 and 8 April 1940 (the 7th to 10th Congresses), the leadership was collective and comprised three Secretaries of the Central Committee.
