The vice presidents of Honduras is the second highest political role in Honduras. The president and vice-presidents are elected in the same ticket. From 1957 to 2006 and from 2010 onwards there are the roles of first, second, and third vice-president that are also known as the presidential designates (Spanish: designados presidenciales).[2][3]

Vice-president and presidential commissioner (2006–2010)

TermPresidentVice presidentNotes
2006–2009 Manuel Zelaya Elvin Santos (27 January 2006 – 18 November 2008[2])
Unoccupied (18 November 2008 – 1 February 2009)
Arístides Mejía (1 February 2009[9] – 28 June 2009)		 Elvin Santos resigned to pursue the presidency.
Arístides Mejía didn't fully occupy the charge; he was a presidential commissioner, not a vice-president, since he was appointed by President Zelaya and not popularly elected; this equates to being a minister without portfolio.[10][11] He was deposed on 28 June 2009.
2009–2010 Roberto Micheletti Unoccupied (28 June 2009 – 27 January 2010) Acting President Roberto Micheletti did not appoint any presidential commissioner (like Manuel Zelaya did with Aristides Mejía) while he was occupying the Honduran presidency.
