The Speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary (Hungarian: Magyarország Országgyűlésének elnöke, literally the President of National Assembly of Hungary) is the presiding officer (or speaker) of the Hungarian National Assembly. The current Speaker is László Kövér.
Since Hungary has no vice president, the Speaker becomes acting President whenever the President resigns, dies or is unable to discharge his duties.
