The President of the Regional Government of Madeira is the head of the devolved government of the Madeira archipelago, since the Carnation Revolution that established the current democratic regime in Portugal and granted political autonomy to the Portuguese islands.

Following the 1974 Revolution, provisional governing bodies were created, whose presiding officers are listed below. After the first elections for the Regional Parliament, held on 27 June 1976, the leader of the largest party Jaime Ornelas Camacho was appointed President of the Regional Government.

There have only been three officeholders and all of them were members of the Social Democratic Party. Alberto João Jardim held the office for more than 38 consecutive years. The current President is Miguel Albuquerque.
