The post of Lord High Treasurer or Lord Treasurer was an English government position that has been existence since 1126. A holder of the post would be the third-highest-ranked Great Officer of State, below the Lord High Steward and the Lord High Chancellor. During Stuart dynasty, the office was held in commission 19 times by lords commissioner of the treasury and a nominal First Lord as well as by a single High Treasurer 15 times.

However, historians generally regard Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford, KG, PC as the first prime minister of Great Britain.
