This page lists the holders of the office of President of Egypt and those who have acted in that capacity in the absence of a sworn President.

The first President of Egypt was Muhammad Naguib, one of the leaders of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, who took office on 18 June 1953, the day on which Egypt was declared a republic. Since then the office has been held by three further people: Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar El Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak. In addition, Sufi Abu Taleb acted as President between Sadat's assassination and the election of his successor.

Following Hosni Mubarak's resignation on 11 February 2011 in the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, the office is vacant, with the functions of head of state and head of government being discharged by the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, currently Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.
