The Mayor is the highest elected official in Atlanta, Georgia. Since its incorporation in 1789, the town has had 64 mayors.

This is a list of mayors of Atlanta in the state of Georgia in the United States. The term of office was one year until Cicero C. Hammock's second term (1875–77), when a new city charter changed it to two years. The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Ragsdale the modern stay in office. Though a political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so the candidate did not represent their party when elected. In recent history, the viable candidates in the race have primarily been Democrats.

See the mayors of Atlanta category for an alphabetical list.
