The president of the Province of Trieste was the head of the provincial administration of Trieste, a local government authority in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

The province was abolished as an administrative body by Regional Law no. 20 of 9 December 2016, which provided for the suppression of the provinces and the transfer of their functions to other local authorities. The last president, Maria Teresa Bassa Poropat, left office on 1 December 2016. On that date, Gianluca Dominutti was appointed extraordinary commissioner to manage the liquidation of the provincial administration and complete the transfer of its remaining assets, responsibilities and legal affairs. The province was replaced by a Regional Decentralization Entity (Ente di Decentramento Regionale), an administrative body headed by a director general.

The Province of Trieste is scheduled to be re-established on 1 January 2027, following the reform of the local government system of Friuli-Venezia Giulia which provides for the reintroduction of the provinces.
