The '''mayor of Quezon City''' ({{langx|fil|Punong Lungsod ng Quezon}}) is the head of the executive branch of [[Quezon City]]'s government. The mayor holds office at the Quezon City Hall.{{citation-needed|date=August 2022}}

Like all local government heads in the [[Philippines]], the mayor is elected via [[first past the post|popular vote]], and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former mayor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor.

Until 1951, the Mayor of Quezon City was appointed by the [[President of the Philippines]]. Through Republic Act No. 537 signed by President [[Elpidio Quirino]] on June 16, 1950, Quezon City had its first mayoralty election on November 13, 1951.

==Vice Mayor of Quezon City==
The vice mayor is the second-highest official in the city. The vice mayor is elected via popular vote; although most mayoral candidates have running mates, the vice mayor is elected separately from the mayor. This can result in the mayor and the vice mayor coming from different political parties.

The vice mayor is the presiding officer of the [[Quezon City Council]]. The vice mayor can only vote as the tiebreaker. When a mayor is removed from office, the vice mayor becomes the mayor until the scheduled next election.
