New York City has one mayor.
The position oversees the entire city government, including its five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island—each led by a borough president rather than a separate mayor.

Current Mayor

Zohran Mamdani serves as the current mayor of New York City. He was elected on November 4, 2025, and took office on January 1, 2026, marking a recent transition from Eric Adams, who held the role from 2022 to 2025.

Historical Mayors

New York City has had over 100 mayors since 1665, with detailed lists tracking their terms and parties. Four living former mayors include Rudy Giuliani (1994–2001), Michael Bloomberg (2002–2013), Bill de Blasio (2014–2021), and Eric Adams.

Borough Leadership

  • Borough presidents handle local issues but lack mayoral powers like budgeting or vetoes.
  • No separate mayors exist for boroughs; all report under the citywide mayor.

Why the Confusion?

People sometimes mix up NYC's structure with smaller towns or other states having multiple mayors. NYC's scale—with 8.3 million residents—demands unified leadership amid challenges like housing and transit.

TL;DR: Just one mayor for all of NYC right now—Zohran Mamdani.
