This is a chronological list of all the living people who have served as [[Prime Minister of Australia]] at each moment in [[History of Australia|Australian history]].

There has been one time period each when there was either one, two, or three living Prime Ministers, beginning with the appointment of [[Edmund Barton]] in 1901 and ending with the appointment of [[George Reid]] in 1904.

There have been two time periods when 9 living current or former prime ministers co-existed. The earliest period was from the October 1941 appointment of [[John Curtin]] to the November 1941 death of [[Chris Watson]]. The most recent and the longest period was a two-year period beginning with the July 1945 appointment of [[Ben Chifley]] to the July 1947 death of [[Joseph Cook]].

If one includes future Prime Ministers as well as past and current Prime Ministers, there has been only one time period when 21 different Prime Ministers co-existed.

==Statistics==
* Because he was the first Prime Minister, and the fact that there have been at at least four Prime Ministers living since the appointment of George Reid on 18 August 1904, [[Edmund Barton]] is the only person to ever hold the distinction of being the only living Prime Minister (from 1 January 1901 to 24 September 1903).
* In addition, [[Alfred Deakin]] and [[Chris Watson]] are the only other persons to have been one of three or less living Prime Ministers (from 24 September 1903 to 18 August 1904).
* During two periods in the History of Australia, have there been 9 persons alive to have been Prime Minister. The first such period was from 7 October 1941 to 18 November 1941 (when [[Chris Watson]], [[Joseph Cook]], [[Billy Hughes]], [[Stanley Bruce]], [[James Scullin]], [[Earle Page]], [[Robert Menzies]], [[Arthur Fadden]], and [[John Curtin]] were alive. The second and most recent period was from 13 July 1945 to 30 July 1947 (when [[Joseph Cook]], [[Billy Hughes]], [[Stanley Bruce]], [[James Scullin]], [[Earle Page]], [[Robert Menzies]], [[Arthur Fadden]], [[Frank Forde]], and [[Ben Chifley]] were alive). The longest period where there have been 9 living prime ministers was 2 years and 17 days, ending with the death of [[Joseph Cook]] in July 1947.
* [[Chris Watson]] was the only person to be both one of the three or less living Prime Ministers (from 27 April 1904 to 18 August 1904) and one of the 9 living prime ministers (13 July 1945 to 30 July 1947).
* There have been 17 administrations during which a Prime Minister has not died, the most recent being the administration of [[Malcolm Turnbull]]. This does not include the administration of [[Joseph Lyons]] (who was himself the only prime minister to die during his administration), nor the administration of incumbent [[Scott Morrison]] (as no Prime Minister has died since [[Malcolm Fraser]], who died during the administration of [[Tony Abbott]]).
** Conversely, only during the administration of [[Robert Menzies]] has there been as many as four deaths during an administration. Only twice (during the administrations of [[Billy Hughes]] and [[Malcolm Fraser]]) has there been as many as three deaths during an administration.
* Although [[Joseph Lyons]] died in office in 1939, he holds the distinction of serving for the longest period without the death of a former Prime Minister during his term (7 years and 91 days). [[Alfred Deakin]] who served for a total period of 4 years and 313 days holds the distinction of serving for the longest period during which no Prime Ministers died without dying in office himself. In recent years, the Prime Minister who served the longest without a death in his term was [[Paul Keating]], who served for 4 years and 82 days.
* The longest period between deaths of Prime Ministers was the 14 years and 49 days between the deaths of [[William McMahon]] on 31 March 1988 and [[John Gorton]] on 19 May 2002. The shortest period is 92 days which has happened twice, firstly between the deaths of [[Alfred Deakin]] on 7 October 1919 and [[Edmund Barton]] on 7 January 1920, and most recently between the deaths of [[Billy Hughes]] on 28 October 1952 and [[James Scullin]] on 28 January 1953.
**If the longest period between deaths is to be exceeded, no Prime Minister must die before 8 May 2029 (the current oldest and second oldest surviving prime ministers, [[Bob Hawke]] and [[John Howard]], would then be 99 and 89 years old respectively).
**The second longest period was the 12 years and 155 days between the deaths of [[John Gorton]] on 19 May 2002 and [[Gough Whitlam]] on 21 October 2014.
* Only once (in 1967) have two Prime Ministers died in the same year.
* Following his administration's end in 1904, [[Chris Watson]] lived to see a record 15 administrations prior to his death in November 1941. [[Edmund Barton]] and [[Stanley Bruce]] follow with 10 administrations after their own administrations ended in 1903 and 1929 respectively, prior to their deaths in January 1920 and August 1967 respectively. In modern times, the Prime Minister to have lived to see the most administrations following their own was [[Bob Hawke]], with 8 so far following the end of his administration in 1991.
* If one includes future as well as past and current prime ministers, the record sits at 21:
** Between [[Gough Whitlam]]'s birth on 11 July 1916 and [[George Reid]]'s death on 12 September 1918, the following prime ministers were alive: [[Edmund Barton]], [[Alfred Deakin]], [[Chris Watson]], [[George Reid]], [[Andrew Fisher]], [[Joseph Cook]], [[Billy Hughes]], [[Stanley Bruce]], [[James Scullin]], [[Joseph Lyons]], [[Earle Page]], [[Robert Menzies]], [[Arthur Fadden]], [[John Curtin]], [[Frank Forde]], [[Ben Chifley]], [[Harold Holt]], [[John McEwen]], [[John Gorton]], [[William McMahon]], and [[Gough Whitlam]].
*Since the appointment of [[Paul Keating]] on 20 December 1991 (a period of ), there have been at least five Prime Ministers living.
