List of mayors and lord mayors of Newcastle

This is a list of mayors and lord mayors of Newcastle and its predecessors, a local government area of New South Wales, Australia.

The official title of Lord Mayors while holding office is: The Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Newcastle.

In recognition of Newcastle's role as NSW's second oldest and largest city, the council applied to have the title "Lord Mayor", which was granted in October 1947 by King George VI and applied in October 1948.

This made Newcastle the first Australian city that was not a capital to receive such an honour.

[1] On 1 April 1949 the official title of the council became the "City of Newcastle".

Newcastle City Hall , designed by acclaimed theatre architect Henry Eli White , has been the seat of the council since 1929.
