The President of the FIA is the central figure in the administration of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. He is responsible for proposing resolutions and rule changes to the various FIA bodies, as well as for the delegation of tasks to his Vice and Deputy Presidents, and for coordinating the activities of the World Motor Sport Council and World Council for Mobility and the Automobile.

The President is elected to a four-year term by the FIA General Assembly, and from October 2005 onward will not be permitted to serve more than two terms. If, during the course of his term, he resigns or becomes incapacitated, the FIA Senate convenes an extraordinary session of the General Assembly to elect a new President no sooner than two months and no later than four months after the resignation or incapacitation. The new President will serve out the remainder of his predecessor's term, at which point elections will occur as normal. The interim President may stand for re-election, and his shortened term does not count toward the two-term limit.

The current President, Max Mosley, took office in 1991, and was re-elected to a fourth successive term in 2005.
