The President of the National Council of Switzerland (Nationalratspräsident in German, Président du Conseil national in French, Presidente del Consiglio nazionale in Italian) presides over the National Council and the Federal Assembly. The President (or Speaker) is often considered the highest ranking representative of the Swiss federal state, but not head of state (see: Federal Council). In the official order of precedence, he ranks behind the members of the Federal Council, but before the President of the Swiss Council of States.

He is elected by the National Council for a term of one year without the possibility of a consecutive second term.
