Vice-President of Malawi (; ) is the second highest political position in Malawi.
The vice-president is elected on the same ticket with the president. The president can also appoint a second vice-president if he desires. The position was first established in November 1994 to assist the president. However, the office has been mainly ceremonial as its sole purpose is to replace the president in his absence, death, or inability to hold office.
