The following is a list of the people (only men, as of 2014) who have fulfilled the role of mayor or its temporal equivalent in the Transylvanian city of Brașov in Romania. Entries followed by a cross sign (†) mean that the respective person deceased while in office.

Beginnings to the 19th century

Since the Saxon settlement in Transylvania carried out by Hungarian king Géza II in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, their records have been a very important source of information (such as the following) about affairs in the region at the time, that would otherwise have been lost. The following section presents, in chronological order, the people that have held the title of "judge" ("judex civitatis" in Latin; head of the city administration's main structure, the Magistrate) since the earliest of these records (but almost a century and a half after the colonization), up to the 19th century, time during which the administration has hardly changed.
