List of mayors of Atlanta

The mayor is the highest elected official in Atlanta.

The term was changed to four years in 1929, giving Isaac N. Ragsdale the modern stay in office.

Though a political party is listed where known, the mayoral election is officially non-partisan, so candidates do not represent their party when elected.

In recent history, the viable candidates in the race have primarily been Democrats.
