Vice-President of Malawi (Chichewa: Wotsatira wa Mtsogoleri wa Dziko la Malawi; Tumbuka: Wachiŵili kwa Mlongozgi wa charu cha Malaŵi) is the second highest political position in Malawi.

The Vice-President is elected on the same ticket with the President. The President can also appoint a Second Vice-President if he desires. The position was first established in November 1994 to assist the President.^[2] However, the office has been mainly ceremonial as its sole purpose is to replace the president in his absence, death, or inability to hold office.
