The Speaker of the Provincial Assembly of Punjab (Urdu: اسپیکر پنجاب اسمبلی) is the presiding official of the Punjab Assembly. Informally, the Speaker is also called Speaker Punjab Assembly.

The office originated in 1921, before Pakistan became independent. It was re-established in 1951 in accordance with the Constitution; the Speaker presides over the chamber composed of Punjab's elected representatives. The Speaker is first in the line of succession to the Governor of Punjab. He also occupies the third position in the Warrant of Precedence, after the Governor and the Chief Minister. In addition, the Speaker takes a non-partisan approach to presiding over the Assembly, and he is its spokesman to the outside world.
