Virðulegu Forsetar (Icelandic for Honorable presidents) is the second studio album by Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson, released by Touch Music in 2004. It consists of one ambient-influenced classical piece using the same phrase throughout, divided into four parts for technical reasons.

## Performance at remembrance concert

After Jóhannsson's death in 2018, Adam Wiltzie, a close friend, organised a remembrance performance of Virðulegu Forsetar on what would have been Jóhannsson's 49th birthday. The concert took place at the Church of Saint John The Baptist at the Béguinage in Brussels.
