The Virgin Islands do not have a president ; they are not an independent country but a British or U.S. territory, depending on which “Virgin Islands” you mean.

Who leads the U.S. Virgin Islands?

For the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, etc.):

  • The head of the territorial government is the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands , not a president.
  • The current governor is Albert Bryan Jr. , in office since January 2019, with a term running through early 2027.

Because the U.S. Virgin Islands are a U.S. territory, the overall head of state is the President of the United States , but locally people refer to their top leader as the governor, not a president.

What about the British Virgin Islands?

If someone means the British Virgin Islands (Tortola, Virgin Gorda, etc.):

  • They are a British Overseas Territory and also do not have a president.
  • They have a Premier (head of government) and a UK-appointed Governor as the King’s representative, under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

So, in everyday terms, when people ask “who is the president of the Virgin Islands,” the accurate correction is: there is no president of the Virgin Islands ; there is a governor for the U.S. Virgin Islands and a premier/governor system for the British Virgin Islands.
