The Chilean presidential election of 1826 took place on July 8, 1826. The National Congress of Chile voted to elect the first President of the Republic of Chile.

The election was called after the resignation of General Ramón Freire from the post of supreme director on July 7, 1826. The nights of the seventh and eighth, the Congress decided that the supreme chief of state would carry the title of President of the Republic, and that a vice president would be elected to replace him in case of illness, absence, and other reasons.

On July 8, the Congress elected as President of the Republic, Admiral Manuel Blanco Encalada, and as Vice President of the Republic, Agustín Eyzaguirre.
