President of the Illinois Senate

This is a complete list of the Presidents of the Illinois Senate as of 2012^[update]. Each was chosen since the Illinois General Assembly's thirty-second session in 1881. Prior to 1973, the Senate was led by the Lieutenant Governor and so the elected officers listed, until then, were known as President pro tempore of the Illinois Senate. Since then, the Illinois Senate has elected its president from its membership.

The colors indicate the political party affiliation of each presiding officer.
