This is a list of mayors of Atlanta, Georgia. The mayor is the highest elected official in Atlanta. Since its incorporation in 1847, the city has had 61 mayors. The current mayor is Andre Dickens, who was elected in 2021 and took office in January 2022.

The term of office was one year until Cicero C. Hammock's second term (1875–1877), when a new city charter changed it to two years. The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Isaac N. Ragsdale the modern stay in office.

Though a political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so candidates do not represent their party when elected. Since 1879, all mayors of Atlanta have been members of the Democratic Party.
