The Junior Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international song competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 2003. This page is a list of those who have been presenters at the contest.
The contest is often hosted by two presenters. However, there were three presenters in 2009, and from 2018 to 2021, four presenters in 2022, and just one presenter between 2014 and 2015.
