This is a list of mayors of Barcelona since 1835. The Mayor of Barcelona is the highest political authority of the Barcelona City Council. In accordance with Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime (currently in force), the mayor or mayoress is elected by the municipal corporation of councilors, who in turn are elected by universal suffrage by the citizens of Barcelona with the right to vote, through municipal elections held every four years. The candidate who obtains the absolute majority of the votes is proclaimed elected. If none of them obtains said majority, the councilor who heads the most voted list is proclaimed mayor.

History

Barcelona City Council has had a total of 118 mayors since it was founded in 1835. The first mayor of the city was José Mariano de Cabanes, who held office for six months, between November 1835 and April 1836. Among the mayors who have especially gone down in history, can be noted Francisco de Paula Rius i Taulet (promoting and holding the mayoralty at the Universal Exposition of 1888, during the Bourbon Restoration), Carles Pi i Sunyer (first mayor elected by universal suffrage, during the Second Republic), José María de Porcioles (mayor who held office the longest, during the Franco dictatorship), Narcís Serra (first mayor elected in the current democratic system), Pasqual Maragall (mayor who held office the longest in democracy as well as for promoting and holding the mayoralty in the 1992 Olympic Games) or Ada Colau (the first female mayor in the history of the city).
