President of Warsaw is the head of the capital of Poland and counterpart of a mayor in smaller Polish and foreign cities.

Following the Warsaw Act (Ustawa warszawska) of October 27, 2002, the President of Warsaw carries over most of the executive duties in the city. His or her prerogative is, among others, governing the city-owned property that still constitutes a major part of the city.
