There are some notes which should be mentioned about this list:

  1. Title of foreign minister varies depending on political regime. For example, during the Jamahiriya era (1977–2011), the title was Secretary of People's Committee for Foreign Communication and International Cooperation.
  2. Despite that the list shown on website of Libyan foreign ministry are one of the sources used in this list, it omits some ministers, like Shams ad-Din Orabi, and Ali Hassanein, between Ahmad Bishti, and Salah Busir.
