Puerto Rico does not have a president ; it has a governor, and the president of the United States is also the head of state for Puerto Rico.

Quick Scoop: Who leads Puerto Rico?

  • Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, not an independent country, so it does not elect its own president. Instead, the U.S. president is its head of state.
  • The top local executive official is the Governor of Puerto Rico, who functions much like a state governor in the U.S. system.

As of early 2025–2026, Jenniffer González Colón serves as the Governor of Puerto Rico , having been sworn in after winning the 2024 gubernatorial election.

So if you are asking “who is president of Puerto Rico” in the strict sense:

  • There is no separate Puerto Rican president; the U.S. president fills that role as head of state.
  • The key on-island leader you probably mean is Governor Jenniffer GonzĂĄlez ColĂłn.
