Atlético Madrid is a professional association football club based in Madrid, Spain, which plays in La Liga. This chronological list comprises all those who have held the position of president of the first team of Atlético Madrid from 1903, when the first president was elected, to the present day. Each president's entry includes his dates of tenure, honours won, and significant achievements while under his care.

Throughout its history, only two presidents have been at the head of the club on two different occasions: Julián Ruete, whose first term was between 1912 and 1919, returning a year later to the presidency, where he remained until 1923, and Vicente Calderón, who was president between 1964 and 1980 and between 1982 and 1987.

Adding his two terms, Vicente Calderón is the one who has remained in office the longest, with a total of 21 years. He is closely followed by Enrique Cerezo with 20 years in the presidency, Jesús Gil with 16, Julián Ruete with 10, and Javier Barroso with 9.
