Le Presidents Day, ou Presidents' Day (Jour des présidents), est le nom que les américains donnent à un jour férié fédéral en l'honneur des différents présidents des États-Unis, officiellement désigné sous le nom de Washington's Birthday. Célébré le troisième lundi de février, pour tomber entre les anniversaires de George Washington (22 février) et d'Abraham Lincoln (12 février), cette fête n’est cependant pas suivie partout et n'a pas la même signification dans chacun des États.
