Driss Jettou (Arabic: إدريس جطو) (born May 24, 1945 in El Jadida) is the Prime Minister of Morocco.

After secondary studies at El Khawarizmi college in Casablanca, he obtained a technical Baccalauréat in mathematics in 1964. He then joined the Faculty of Sciences of Rabat where he graduated in physics and chemistry in 1966. He also received a diploma of adjustment and management of company of Cordwainers Colleges of London in 1968.

Between 1968 and 1993, Jettou occupied many managerial positions of several Moroccan companies. He then chaired the Moroccan Federation of industries of leather (FEDIC) and was a member of the General Confederation of the Companies in Morocco (CGEM) and later became the vice-president of the Moroccan association of exporters (ASMEX).

He was appointed to the position of Prime Minister by King Mohammed VI on October 9, 2002. His appointment has been controversial as he is not a member of any party, although he is now governing with a coalition which has the majority. The Socialist Union of Forces for Progress and Independence Party are the major parties of this coalition. Jettou was born in the town of El-Jadida. His experience in government includes a period as finance minister of Morocco from 1997 until 1998. He was also the interior minister from 2001 until he became prime minister.
