The president of Colombia is the head of state and head of government of the Republic of Colombia.

The first president, General Simón Bolívar, took office in 1819. His position, initially self-proclaimed, was subsequently ratified by Congress.
The current president of the Republic of Colombia is Juan Manuel Santos, who took office on 7 August 2010.
