The '''Mayor of Moscow''' ({{langx|ru|Мэр Москвы|Mer Moskvy}}) is the head and the highest-ranking official of [[Moscow]], who leads the [[Government of Moscow]], the main executive body of the city.

Moscow is both a city and separate [[Federal subjects of Russia|federal subject]], according to the [[Constitution of Russia]].<ref>Constitution of the Russian Federation, 65-1</ref> Most federal subjects are [[List of current heads of federal subjects of Russia|headed by governors]], but the office of the head of Moscow is called ''Mayor of the City of Moscow'', according to the [[Charter of the city of Moscow]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://constitution.garant.ru/region/ustav_moskv/chapter/1/#block_5|title = Устав города Москвы (утв. Московской городской Думой 28 июня 1995 г.) / Глава 1. Основные положения (ст.ст. 1 - 10)}}</ref>

[[Sergei Sobyanin]], the incumbent Mayor of Moscow, was re-elected for a new term in 2018 and then in 2023.

==Responsibilities==
{{See also|Government of Moscow|Charter of the city of Moscow}}
The separate office of the ''Premier of the Government of Moscow'' existed in 1991-2001 ([[Yury Luzhkov]] was the only officeholder), but it was merged with the office of Mayor of Moscow. [[1999 Moscow mayoral election]] was the last time when the mayor ran together with the vice-mayor.

Mayor of Moscow heads Government of Moscow. The mayor's office administers all city services, public property, police and fire protection, most public agencies, and enforces all city and state laws within [[Moscow]]. The mayor's office is located in [[Moscow City Hall Building]] in [[Tverskaya Street]] and has jurisdiction over all [[Administrative divisions of Moscow|districts of the City of Moscow]]. The mayor appoints deputy mayors, directors (heads of city departments) and other officials.

The [[Government of Moscow]]'s budget is the largest regional budget in [[Russia]].

==Elections==
{{See also|Elections in Russia#Regional elections}}
The position of Mayor of Moscow was elected between 1991 and 2004. In 2004, [[Vladimir Putin]] proposed a law to abolish the direct election of governors, the mayor of Moscow, and the presidents of Russian regions. The law was swiftly passed by the parliament.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://lenta.ru/articles/2013/01/24/gouverneurs/|script-title=ru:Синдром отмены|last=Цыбульский|first=Владимир|date=24 January 2013|publisher=[[Lenta.ru]]|language=ru|access-date=21 August 2013}}</ref> The new legislation changed the [[election system]] to an [[indirect election|indirect]] one, in which [[State Duma|parliamentary political parties]] and the [[President of Russia]] nominated a candidate who must then have been approved by the [[Moscow City Duma]]. Following the [[2011–13 Russian protests]] that followed the [[2011 Russian legislative election|2011 parliamentary election]], President [[Dmitry Medvedev]] offered to re-introduce the direct elections of the governors and the mayor of Moscow, and legislation to this effect was passed by the Parliament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rferl.org/content/russia_direct_election_regional_governors/24453264.html |title=Russia's Medvedev Proposes Direct Elections Of Governors}}</ref> In the [[2013 Moscow mayoral election|2013 mayoral election]], for the first time in 10 years, the mayor was elected by popular vote.

A candidate to the office must be a citizen of the Russian Federation over the age of 30. Candidates can be nominated both by [[Political parties in Russia|political parties]] and as self-nomination. In any case, candidates must pass the "municipal filter" (collection of signatures of municipal deputies).
