Vice President of Togo (French: Vice-président de la République togolaise) is a former political position in Togo.

The Constitution of Togo of May 1963 established an executive branch of a President of Togo and a vice president. The National Assembly was left with weak powers.[1] The Vice President was elected with universal suffrage.[2] A constitutional amendment in December 1966 abolished the vice presidency.[3]
