The Secretary of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbo-Croatian: Sekretar Centralnog komiteta Saveza komunista Bosne i Hercegovine) was the head of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina, heading the Central Committee of the Party. The holder of the office was, for a significant period, the de facto most influential politician in the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a constituent republic of Yugoslavia. The official name of the office was changed in May 1982 from "Secretary of the Central Committee" to President of the Presidency of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Predsednik Predsedništva Centralnog komiteta Saveza komunista Bosne i Hercegovine).

The League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina was also an organization subordinate to the federal-level League of Communists of Yugoslavia. Between December 1943 and September 1952, the former was named the Communist Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina (being part of the larger Communist Party of Yugoslavia), until both parties were renamed "League of Communists" in 1952.
