Ronald Adrian Nirenberg (born April 11, 1977) is the current mayor of San Antonio, Texas.

Nirenberg states he is of Eastern European Jewish descent from his father's side and of mixed Malaysian, Indian, British and Filipino heritage from his mother’s side. Nirenberg's father met Nirenberg's mother while the couple was serving with the Peace Corps in Malaysia. Nirenberg, who is Methodist, was reared in the capital city of Austin, Texas. He has been a long-term devotee of weightlifting, having participated in the sport since he was fourteen. He frequently works out at the Barshop Jewish Community Center in San Antonio. He was on the wrestling team in high school, and for seven years, he competed as a strength athlete, having developed an interest in the sport from watching the syndicated television series, American Gladiators.
