The President of Rwizikuru (weRwizi: President weRwizikuru) was the head of state of Rwizikuru between Rwizikuru's independence in Estmere in 1946, and the establishment of the Rwizikuran monarchy in 1968. As was envisioned by the Constitution of Rwizikuru, it was meant to be an executive presidency, and thus, it served as both the head of state, and head of government.

In the event of incapacity of the sitting President, it was envisioned that the Vice-President would become Acting President, while if the President died in office, or resigned, the Vice-President would automatically become President. However, it only came into effect with the 1963 coup d'etat that removed Vudzijena Nhema from power, where the Rwizikuran Armed Forces allowed his Vice-President, Pierre-Ardachir Niyonzima to take power.
