The President of the Arab Republic of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: رئيس جمهورية مصر) is the executive head of state of Egypt and the de facto appointer of the official head of government under the Egyptian Constitution of 2014. Under the various iterations of the Constitution of Egypt following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, the president is also the supreme commander of the Armed Forces, and head of the executive branch of the Egyptian government.[2]

Six presidents took over the presidency of Egypt after the abolition of the monarchy in 1953, in periods that included short transitional periods. They began with President Mohamed Naguib, then President Gamal Abdel Nasser, then President Anwar Sadat. He was followed by President Hosni Mubarak, then President Mohamed Morsi. The current president is Field Marshal Abdel Farrah el-Sisi, who has been in office since 8 June 2014.
