Presario is a discontinued line of consumer-oriented personal computers originally produced by Compaq and later by Hewlett-Packard following the 2002 merger. Introduced in 1993, Compaq has used the name for desktops, laptops, all-in-ones and monitors for home and home office use.

After acquiring Compaq in 2002, HP sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines under the Pavilion and Presario names respectively from 2002 to 2013.
