The Junior Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international song competition organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 2003. This page is a list of those who have been presenters at the contest.

Two presenters typically host the competition. However, there were three presenters in 2009, and from 2018 to 2021, four presenters in 2022, and just one presenter between 2014 and 2015. Kim-Lian van der Meij (Netherlands), Timur Miroshnychenko (Ukraine), Ida Nowakowska (Poland), and Olivier Minne (France) have been the only presenters to host the contest twice: Kim-Lian in 2007 and 2012, Miroshnychenko in 2009 and 2013, Nowakowska in 2019 and 2020, and Minne in 2021 and 2023.
