The President of Carucere, officially the President of the Republic of Carucere, is the head of state and the head of government of Carucere. Under the Constitution of Carucere the president heads the executive branch of the national government and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Republic. The current president is Neil Gaubina, who took office on 1 December 2018.

The presidency was originally intended to be a ceremonial office with no real executive power as Carucere was originally envisioned as a parliamentary republic. However political power was centralized under the Presidency by Jean Préval, who held the office for twenty years from 1953 to 1973. Today Carucere functions as a presidential republic, although it still maintains many aspects of a parliamentary system. The President is elected by a unique electoral system where the presidential candidate of the party that wins a majority in the Senate election is automatically elected to the office. If no party achieves a majority, the candidates of the two top leading parties proceed to a run off election by the Senate.
