The President of the Malaysian Islamic Party (Malay: Presiden Parti Islam Se-Malaysia; Jawi: ڤريسيدن ڤرتي اسلام س-مليسيا), or simply as the President of the PAS (Malay: Presiden PAS; Jawi: ڤريسيدن ڤاس), unofficially known as the Supreme Leader of the Malaysian Islamic Party (Malay: Pemimpin Agung Parti Islam Se-Malaysia; Jawi: ڤميمڤين اڬوڠ ڤرتي اسلام س-مليسيا), is the highest position of the second current largest party in Malaysia. Since 23 July 2002, the office has been held by Abdul Hadi Awang.^[1][2][3]

The President of the Malaysian Islamic Party is supported by a deputy president, who has been Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man since 4 June 2015,.^[4] Furthermore, the president is supported by three vice-presidents, currently holding by Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (since 21 June 2019), Mohd Amar Abdullah (since 4 June 2015) and Idris Ahmad (since 4 June 2015).^[5][6]

The position of PAS chief executive was initially known as "Yang Dipertua PAS" since the establishment of PAS in 24 November 1951, but due to the growth of PAS branches starting in 1952, where the PAS's Head of the Branch^{[note 4]} (now Head of the area^{[note 5]}) was also known as "Yang Dipertua PAS", the second PAS Annual General Assembly Meeting on 26 to 27 August 1953 decided that this position would be known as "Yang Dipertua Agung PAS."

In 1971, the then-PAS deputy chief executive, Hassan Adli Mohd Arshad [ms] once proposed that the position of the chief executive of the PAS be changed to "Ketua Pimpinan PAS," but was rejected by the PAS Constitutional Amendment Committee on 1971, which resulted in the original name continuing to be used until 1987. The PAS Constitutional Amendment Committee on 1987 changed the position of "Yang Dipertua PAS" to "Yang Dipertua PAS Pusat," before it became known as the President of the PAS starting in 1993.

The list of the chief executive of the PAS's name is as shown below:
