These are lists of political office-holders in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, which from 15 March 1939 until 9 May 1945 comprised the Nazi-occupied parts of Czechoslovakia.
The lists include both the representatives of the Nazi-recognized Czech authorities as well as the German Reichsprotektoren ("Reich protectors") and the Staatsminister ("State Minister"), who held the real executive power in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
Government of the Protectorate
Note: State President (Státní prezident / Staatspräsident) Emil Hácha and Prime Minister (Předseda vlády / Premierminister) Rudolf Beran held the office prior the German occupation, during the Second Czechoslovak Republic, and were officially confirmed in those positions (with very limited sovereignty and power) by German authorities within few days after the occupation.

State Minister for Bohemia and Moravia
On 20 August 1943, at the eve of Wilhelm Frick's appointment, the State Ministry for Bohemia and Moravia was created within the Hitler cabinet, which assumed many powers of the Prime Minister and of the Reich Protector. SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Hermann Frank, Higher SS and Police Leader (Höherer SS-und Polizeiführer, HSSPF, HSS-PF, HSSuPF) in Bohemia and Moravia and the former Secretary of State in the Office of Reich Protector since 1939, was the only State Minister (with the title Staatsminister im Range eines Reichsministers) for Bohemia and Moravia, reducing the formerly important position of Reich Protector to a ceremonial role.
