The office of mayor of Niagara Falls, New York is currently held by Paul Dyster. Prior to the establishment of the mayorship, the highest official in Niagara Falls was known as the "village president" and was held by Peter A. Porter in 1878.

His campaign slogan was "municipal government is business, not politics" and he was overwhelmingly elected by every district in the city. After a year in office, Schoellkopf decided not to run for a second term citing that "his private business would not allow him to devote the necessary time to the city’s affairs" and declined the Republican mayoral nomination for 1897.

The 2015 mayoral election was held on Tuesday November 3, 2015, with the following candidates: Incumbent mayor Paul Dyster (Democrat) and challenger John Accardo (Republican). Dyster won (4,267 to 3,468) his third term as Mayor of Niagara Falls. With the win, Dyster joins E. Dent Lackey as the only two three-term mayors in Niagara Falls and draws closer to being in office as long former Mayor Michael O’Laughlin, the city’s longest-tenured mayor who held four consecutive terms from 1976 to 1991.
