The president of the Province of Cagliari was the head of the provincial administration of Cagliari, a local government authority in Sardinia, Italy.

History The office of president of the Province of Cagliari was established in 1889, initially within the Provincial Deputation. Before that date, the Deputation was headed by the prefect. During the Fascist period (1926–1944), the province was governed by appointed officials, including commissioners and presidents of the Rectorate. After World War II, the office was restored and gradually redefined within the Italian Republic, first with indirect election by the Provincial Council and, from 1995, with direct popular election.

The province was eventually replaced in 2016 by the Metropolitan City of Cagliari.
