A Speaker-designate is a member of a House of Representatives who has been selected as Speaker of the House, but who has not yet taken office, as it is still occupied by the previous Speaker. It is similar to terms such as "President-elect." It differs from the term Speaker-presumptive in that a Speaker-presumptive is assumed to be the incoming Speaker, but he or she has not been formally elected to the Speakership.
