The President of Paraguay (Spanish: Presidente de la República del Paraguay) is according to the Constitution of Paraguay the head of the executive branch of the Government of Paraguay, both head of state and head of government. His honorific title is Excelentísimo Señor. Under the 1992 constitution, the President is limited to a single five year term, however on 1 April 2017, the Senate voted to abolish term limits, resulting in protests. This amendment will have to be voted on in a referendum, in order to come into force.

Once Presidents leave office, they are granted by the Constitution of Paraguay the speaking-but-non-voting position of Senator for life.
