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 Atlanta mayoral election|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 Newton Ragsdale|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 (United States)|Democratic Party]].
