Thomas Karl Leonard Kemmerich (born 20 February 1965) is a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) who served as the Minister-President of Thuringia from 5 February to 4 March 2020. With a tenure of only 28 days (3 days if his time as acting officeholder is excluded), he has been both the shortest-serving Minister-President of Thuringia and the shortest-serving head of a state government in the Federal Republic of Germany (as of 2024).

After Reinhold Maier, who had served as minister-president of Württemberg-Baden (1945–1952) and, after the state's fusion with two other southwestern states, of the new state Baden-Württemberg (1952–1953), he was the second minister-president from the FDP in German history.[1]
