The Speaker is the presiding officer of a legislative assembly in several countries. Some assemblies have a President or a Chairman instead. The term originates from the British Parliament, where the Speaker of the House of Commons is responsible for presiding over debate.

All members (including the Prime Minister) address their speeches to the Speaker, and if two members want to talk at the same time, the Speaker decides who can go first.
