Indirect presidential elections were held in Greece on 19 October 1933. The president was elected by the Greek Parliament and Senate.[1] [2]

Incumbent president Alexandros Zaimis was re-elected and sworn in for his second term the same day. It marked the first time a sitting president had been re-elected and would become the last presidential election of the Second Hellenic Republic before the restoration of the Greek monarchy in 1935.[3]
