This is a list of Presidents of Croatia.

Historically, the heads of state of Croatia as a constituent country of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia were referred to as "Presidents". Prior to 1974, Croatia's head of state was the speaker of the Croatian parliament. The Croatian Parliament was known as the People's Assembly (Narodna Skupština) 1945-1953, and then re-assumed its old name, the Sabor, in 1953 ("Sabor" is translated "Parliament" in the table).

Since the Christmas Constitution, the President of the Republic (Predsjednik) is directly elected to a five-year term and is limited to a maximum of two terms. Since the changes to the Constitution of Croatia in 2001, the President of the Republic of Croatia cannot be a member of any political party. He or she can be elected as a member of a party, but once elected must resign from membership in any political party.
