• Source: List of prime ministers of New Zealand by education

The following is a list of prime ministers of New Zealand by education. The list includes all recognised heads of government, the title of which has included colonial secretary, premier, first minister and prime minister, since the establishment of a responsible government in New Zealand in 1856. James FitzGerald and Thomas Forsaith, who led unofficial ministries in 1854, are not included.
Historically it was not uncommon for New Zealand prime ministers to have little tertiary education, however university attendance has become more common since the 1970s. The most frequently attended university is Victoria University of Wellington with four alumni (Jack Marshall, Geoffrey Palmer, Bill English and Chris Hipkins) having held the office of prime minister, followed by the University of Canterbury with three alumni. However, if Jenny Shipley, who attended the Christchurch Teachers' College, now part of the University of Canterbury, is included, the total rises to four. The universities of Auckland, Cambridge, and Otago follow two alumni each. Only two prime ministers have held doctoral level education (Daniel Pollen and Geoffrey Palmer).
