The president of Barbados is the head of state of Barbados and the commander-in-chief of the Barbados Defence Force. The office was established when the country became a parliamentary republic on 30 November 2021. Prior to that date, the head of state was Elizabeth II, Queen of Barbados, who was represented on the island by a governor-general. The final person to hold that position, Dame Sandra Mason, served as Barbados' first president from 2021 to 2025, and was then succeeded by the current president, Jeffrey Bostic.
