No. The Constitution merely requires that the President "from time to time" inform Congress as to the state of the union. It does not have to be a speech, and in fact every President from Thomas Jefferson until Woodrow Wilson submitted the state of the union in a letter to Congress. The speech traditionally takes place annually, but this is not constitutionally required.
If you are referring to the President of the U.S. than the speech he is required to make by the Constitution is the State of the Union Address.
The State of the Union speech or address is what they call this constitutionally mandated report to Congress. The report may be written or oral and does not have to be given every year, but modern presidents have been giving it annually in person to a joint session of Congress in January.
All the Constitution says is that he shall do so from "time to time". And it need not be a speech.
It is usually given in January. In 2013, it was given in February. Instructions from the Constitution are "from time to time".

Article 2 Section 3 Clause 1 of the US Constitution states "He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;". The State of the Union speech satisfies this duty by tradition; however, the President does not have to give an actual speech. He may simply deliver a written document to the Congress describing his views on the State of the Union. This was last done by Jimmy Carter for his final State of the Union in 1981 shortly before he left office.Carter's final State of the Union has become known as the, "I ain't talking to them a$$holes" speech.
It has been known as The State of the Union Address since the 1940s; before then it was called "the President's Annual Message to Congress". It does not need to be in the form of a speech, and it does not need to be delivered every year. The U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3 states, in part, "[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient..." Throughout the 19th century the Presidents sent the State of the Union to Congress in writing, and it was read by the clerk. Woodrow Wilson revived the practice of delivering the State of the Union orally.
There is no requirement for State of the Union addresses in the Constitution. These addresses are at the discretion of each respective President and his or her cabinets.

Yes. This requirement is a mandate from the US Constitution. It is known as the State of the Union Address. It used to be a written message to Congress, but modern presidents give in as a speech once a year.
