The president of the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: رئيس الجمهورية اللبنانية, romanizedRa’īs al-Jumhūriyyah al-Lubnāniyyah) is the head of state of Lebanon. The president is elected by the parliament for a term of six years, which cannot be renewed immediately because they can only be renewed non-consecutively. By convention, the president is always a Maronite Christian who fulfills the same requirements as a candidate for the house of representatives, as per article 49 of the Lebanese constitution.[1]

The current holder is Joseph Aoun, who took office on 9 January 2025.[2]
