Presidential elections were held in Colombia on 9 February 1930. The result was a victory for Enrique Olaya Herrera of the Liberal Party, who received 44.9% of the "vote." He took office on 7 August.

It was the first time since direct presidential elections were introduced in 1914 that a Conservative Party candidate had not won.
