Legislature term	15th

The Perlis State Executive Council is the executive authority of the Government of Perlis, Malaysia. It is composed of the Menteri Besar, who is appointed by the Raja on the basis that he commands the confidence of the majority in the Perlis State Legislative Assembly, along with several Members of the Assembly, the State Secretary, the State Legal Adviser and the State Financial Officer.

In both structure and function, the Council is comparable to the Cabinet of Malaysia, albeit on a smaller scale. As the division of responsibilities differs between the federal and state levels, certain portfolios held by the Council differ from those at the federal level. Due to the relatively small size of the Assembly, the Council is smaller than those in other states, comprising only 5 members, compared to the 11 members typically found in other state executive councils.

Members of the Council are selected by the Menteri Besar and formally appointed by the Raja. Unlike the federal government, the Council does not operate through ministries. Instead, it functions through a system of committees, each responsible for overseeing specific portfolios. Members of the Council customarily serve as the chairpersons of their respective committees.
