The President of the Chamber of Deputies (Luxembourgish: Chamberpresidenten, French: Président de la Chambre des Députés, German: Präsident der Abgeordnetenkammer) is the presiding officer in Luxembourg's unicameral national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies.
Note that, during recess, the Chamber does not have a President. However, for continuity purposes, unless the President changes between one session and another, the Presidency is treated as though it is held continuously.
