Below is a List of Presidents of the National Assembly of Niger
.
The National Assembly was established through reforms of the Colony of Niger's Constituent Council during the French Colonial Period. It operated from 1958, through independence in 1960, until the 1974 Nigerien coup d'état
. During the course of Military rule (1974–1991) a consultative body (the High Council of the Republic of Niger) was reformed to become analogous to a National Assembly. This functioned as a caretaker National Assembly during the Constitutional Convention period of the Second (1991–1993) and was reconstituted as the National Assembly in the Third Republic (1993–1996). Following the 1996 Nigerien coup d'état
the National Assembly was again suspended, and reinstituted in 1997 under the Fourth Republic. Again, following the 1999 Nigerien coup d'état
, the National Assembly was suspended, but this time was reconstituted within the year under the Fifth Republic. After the 2010 Nigerien coup d'état
, it was suspended again.
