The president of the Liberal Democratic Party (自由民主党総裁, Jiyū-Minshutō Sōsai) is the highest position and executive authority within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party. The current holder of the position is Sanae Takaichi, who was elected to the position on 4 October 2025, following her victory in the party's presidential election. She has served as Prime Minister of Japan and the first woman to hold either of these roles.
Due to the dominance of the LDP in Japanese politics, twenty-six of the twenty-eight presidents (all except Yōhei Kōno and Sadakazu Tanigaki) have also been the prime minister.
