The president of the Chamber of Deputies (Luxembourgish: Chamberpresident, 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. The current president is Claude Wiseler who is the 40th person to hold the position.
Note that, during recess, the chamber does not have a president. However, "for continuity purposes," unless the president changes between one parliamentary session and "another," the presidency is treated as though it is held continuously.
In addition, there were four extraordinary sessions, for which the Presidents were selected by virtue of being the oldest members. In these cases, the Presidents were:
- 11 January 1858: Mathias Ulrich
- 24 June 1872 – 27 June 1872 Michel Witry
- 6 July 1979: Jean-Pierre Urwald
- 16 July 1984: Jean-Pierre Urwald
