Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene (29 June 1980) is a Mongolian politician who has been the Prime Minister of Mongolia since 2021.

He was educated at Harvard. He worked for World Vision International for more than six years. He was elected as a Member of Parliament for Khentii in 2016 and led demonstrations against corruption.[1]

He has been running a campaign against corruption. He has changed the constitution to make the parliament bigger and stronger, and he plans to make businesses more independent of the government. He plans to set up a sovereign wealth fund with money from mining to pay for health, education and future economic growth. He has done deals with the US and China and not voted on UN resolutions on Ukraine.[2]

Oyun-Erdene resigned on 3 June 2025 after losing a vote of no confidence, following mass protests against his government.[3] He was accused of corruption and nepotism.[4]
