The vice president of Benin is the second highest political position in Benin. The vice presidency was created by the 2019 amendments made to the Constitution of Benin.[1][2] The vice president is elected concurrently with the president in direct popular elections.

The vice presidency was created to ensure succession in case of a vacancy in the presidency. The vice president can have other tasks entrusted to them by the president.[1]
