{{Politics of Mauritius}}

The '''vice-president of the Republic of Mauritius''' ({{langx|fr|Vice-Président de la République de Maurice}}) is the second-highest office of the [[Republic of Mauritius]], after the [[President of Mauritius|president]]. Because Mauritius is a [[parliamentary republic]], the vice-president functions as a ceremonial [[figurehead]], elected by the [[National Assembly (Mauritius)|National Assembly]], as set out by the [[Constitution of Mauritius]].

==Overview==
In the event of the death, resignation or removal of the president, the vice-president becomes acting president. The vice-president nevertheless cannot succeed to the presidency in case of dismissal, resignation or death of the head of state but he can be nominated by the parliament to succeed to the president and if elected, the term will start for a full mandate of five years.<ref name="cons">{{cite news|url=http://www.gov.mu/portal/goc/webattorney/file/revisedlaws/C/PART%20I%20-%20THE%20CONSTITUTION1.pdf|title=Constitution of Mauritius|publisher=Government of Mauritius|access-date=23 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924023256/http://www.gov.mu/portal/goc/webattorney/file/revisedlaws/C/PART%20I%20-%20THE%20CONSTITUTION1.pdf|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
