President of the Senate of Antigua and Barbuda is the presiding officer in the Senate of Antigua and Barbuda. Prior to conducting any other business, the Senate must elect a senator to serve as president when it convenes following a general election.^[2]

If the position of president becomes vacant at any point before the next dissolution of Parliament, the Senate must elect a new senator to serve in that capacity as soon as is practically possible.^[2] Prior to conducting any other business besides electing the President at the Senate's first session following a general election, the Senate shall elect a senator to serve as Vice-President. If the position of Vice-President becomes vacant at any point before the next dissolution of Parliament, the Senate shall, as soon as is practically possible, elect another senator to fill the position.^[2] A senator cannot be elected by the Senate to be President or Vice-President if they are also serving as a Minister or Parliamentary Secretary.^[2] When the Presidency is vacant, the Senate is not allowed to conduct any activity (except from the election of a President).^[2]

If the business before the Senate in that meeting makes the Attorney-General's presence desirable, the President, Vice-President, or other member presiding in the Senate may request that the Attorney-General attend that meeting. When such a request is made, the Attorney-General may participate in the meeting solely for the purpose of explaining the matters before the Senate in that meeting.^[2]
