List of mayors of Memphis, Tennessee

This is a list of mayors of Memphis, Tennessee.

As a result of a yellow fever epidemic in 1879, Memphis lost so much of its population that it was disincorporated and was not rechartered until 1895.

The city leaders during this period were known as President of the Taxing District.

They were David T. Porter (1879-1881), John Overton (1881-1883), David P. Hadden (1883-1891), William D. Bethell (1891-1893) and Walter L. Clapp (1893-1895) who then became mayor.
