'''Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson''' (lahir [[14 Mei]] [[1943]] di [[Ísafjörður]], [[Islandia]]) adalah [[Presiden Islandia kelima]] pada [[1996]] hingga sekarang. Ia terpilih dalam pemilihan awal pada tahun [[2000]] dan menang dalam pemilu tahap ketiga pada [[2004]].
<!-- From [[1962]] to [[1970]], he studied [[economics]] and [[political science]] at the [[University of Manchester]]. He was a professor at the [[University of Iceland]] for [[political science]], served as Member of [[Althing]], was Minister of Finance (1988–1991) and served as chairman of the left [[People's Alliance (Iceland)|People's Alliance]] (1987–1995).
He married [[Guðrún Katrín Þorbergsdóttir]] in [[1974]], who gave birth to twin daughters the following year. Guðrún Katrín was very popular in Iceland, and her charisma is without a doubt one of the main reasons her husband was elected; she charmed the nation right from the start of their campaign. Her death from [[leukaemia]] in [[1998]] was a shock to the nation and her family.
Ólafur's second marriage was to [[Dorrit Moussaieff]] to whom he had been engaged since May [[2000]]. This took place on his 60th birthday [[14 May]] [[2003]] in a private ceremony held at the presidential residence.

He is the first president to use the authorization given in the 26th article of the [[Icelandic constitution]] to veto a law from [[Alþingi]], in which case the law in question would be put to a national referendum. He did that on [[June 2]], [[2004]] to a law about the mass media. His decision remains controversial with politicians and legal scholars alike. Some consider the veto as "an attack" on Alþingi and [[parliamentary sovereignty]] and lawyers debate whether article 26 is actually valid. No national referendum was ever held about the controversial media law as the government withdrew the law before a referendum could be held.
In the [[Icelandic presidential election 2004|2004 presidential elections]], Ólafur was re-elected with 67.5 per cent of the votes cast (down from over 95% in the only other time an incumbent has been contested), but that election also saw a record number of empty ballots of 21.2 per cent and exceptionally low turnout of 63% (usually 80-90%), both of which has been interpreted as dissent with the president's decision to not sign the media law. Since then, the issue of a constitutional amendment to revoke the veto power of the president has been raised by the [[Independence Party (Iceland)|Independence Party]]. Some have also wanted to rest that power with the people themselves, who could then force referendums to be held on laws by – for instance – collecting a certain number of signatures. -->
