The 2023 Guatemala City mayoral election was held on 25 June 2023, to elect the mayor of Guatemala City, Department of Guatemala and thirteen members of the Municipal Council. Incumbent Ricardo Quiñónez Lemus was eligible for another term. Quiñónez of the Unionist Party ran for re-election with the support of Valor.

Juan Francisco Solórzano Foppa, a pre-candidate of the Semilla–Winaq–URNG–MAIZ coalition, was unable to register due to legal issues, but his team was registered. Under electoral law, if the coalition wins the election, the first councilor would have become the mayor-elect, but she withdrew her candidacy, which led to Ninotchka Matute, the second councilor, becoming the mayor-elect.
