Vice President of Zimbabwe is the second highest political position obtainable in Zimbabwe. Currently there is a provision for two Vice Presidents, who are appointed by the President of Zimbabwe.

Under the ZANU–PF ruling party, the more senior of the two vice presidential posts has traditionally been reserved for a representative of the party's historical ZANU wing, while the less senior post has gone to a representative of the party's historical ZAPU wing.
