The vice presidency of Pakistan (Urdu: نائب صدر پاکستان) was a political office which existed between 1971 and 1973. In practice, it was the second highest office in the country after the presidency of Pakistan, holding the status of the deputy head of state, and ranking first in the presidential line of succession.[2] Established in December 1971, the post remained in effect until the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan was promulgated in August 1973, under which it was formally abolished.[3]

Nurul Amin remains the first and only officeholder in Pakistan's history to have occupied this position.[3]
