The President of the Confederate States of America is the elected head of state and government of the Confederate States. The president also heads the executive branch of government and is commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, and of the militia of the states when called into Confederate service.

Article II of the Confederate States Constitution vested the executive power of the Confederacy in the president. The power included the execution of law, alongside the responsibility of appointing executive, diplomatic, regulatory and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the senate. He is further empowered to grant reprieves and pardons, and convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances.

The president is indirectly elected by the people through the Electoral College to single four-year term, and is one of only two nationally elected Confederate officers, the other being the Vice President. On February 18, 1861, Jefferson Davis became the inaugural president of the provisional government. On February 22, 1862, he became president of the permanent government.

The president is elected indirectly through the Electoral College to a four-year term, along with the vice president. Under the seventh amendment, ratified in 1950, no person who has been elected to two presidential terms may be elected to a third. In addition, seven vice presidents have become president by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation.
