The Lord President's Committee was a United Kingdom cabinet committee during the Second World War. This committee oversaw many aspects of home affairs, most notably the economy, and was vital to the smooth running of the British war economy and consequently the entire British war effort. Because of this it was always headed by a senior politician and became one of the responsibilities given to successive Lord Presidents of the Council. These were:
- Neville Chamberlain (May 11, 1940–October 3, 1940)
- Sir John Anderson (October 3, 1940–September 24, 1943)
- Clement Attlee (September 24, 1943–May 23, 1945)
