List of mayors of Atlanta

List of mayors of Atlanta

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 Hammock's second term, 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 been primarily Democrats.

See the mayors of Atlanta category for an alphabetical list.
