Dennis Fletcher Hammond (December 15, 1819 – October 31, 1891) was the 18th mayor of the American city of Atlanta, Georgia.
He moved to Georgia where he was a lawyer and, from 1855 to 1861, judge in the superior court Tallapoosa Judicial Circuit.
In Atlanta after the American Civil War, he was politically influenced by William Markham and became a Radical Republican supporting black suffrage.
When Markham refused to run for mayor, Hammond did and was able to briefly unite working-class whites to win the office.
[1] After serving one term as mayor, he moved to Orlando, Florida, in 1880..
