The President of the Hanoverian Union is the ceremonial head of the Hanoverian Union, a politico-economic union comprising the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Founded in line with the organisation's establishment on 6 December 1946, the officeholder has traditionally been the reigning monarch of all three member states, currently Queen Alexandra, whom took office following her father's abdication on 13 October 2017. In addition to having no term limit, the role of the president itself is largely ceremonial, with the organisation's day-to-day governance mostly being done by the chairman.

The seat of the president, although mostly unoccupied, is the Royal Palace of Brussels in Brussels, Netherlands, which also serves as the administrative center of the organisation.
