The Chief of Staff of the Casa de Nariño is the head of the Executive Office of the President of Colombia and a cabinet position in the government of Colombia.

The chief of staff is a person politically appointed by the president of Colombia who does not require the confirmation of the Senate and who serves at the discretion of the President. Although it is not a legally required role, all presidents since Iván Duque have appointed a chief of staff.

The chief of staff is the highest-ranking political appointee in the Casa de Nariño. The position is widely recognized as one of great power and influence, due to daily contact with the President and control of the Executive Office of the President of Colombia.

This position is part of the Administrative Department of the Presidency and together with the person who heads this department, they form what is informally known as "the president's first decision-making circle." Their functions include advising the president in the development of public policy, coordinating the presidential agenda, and presenting to the president for consideration matters from the ministries, among other functions.
