A Queensland man has been charged after allegedly threatening to kill the prime minister.

Norman Dean Lake was arrested at a property in Moreton Bay, north of Brisbane, after allegedly making a threat on Anthony Albanese's life on social media.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers executed a search warrant on a home in Newport on Saturday morning and took the man into custody.

He's since been charged with one count of using a carriage service to make a threat to kill.

The offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

In a statement, the AFP said investigations into the incident are ongoing.

Mr Lake was due to face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Saturday.
