Michael Di Biase is the current mayor of Vaughan, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He became involved in the city's political sphere when elected local councillor in 1985. Following the death of Mayor Lorna Jackson in 2002, Di Biase was appointed interim mayor by virtue of his position as Senior Regional Councillor. In the 2003 municipal election, Di Biase won his first official term as mayor.

Once elected, Di Biase insisted on moving the City Of Vaughan beyond its roots as a commuter community. Working with various levels of governments, Di Biase guided the City to economic success and influence. He has firm in his committment to creating a "Downtown" for the city often viewed as typical "suburbia". The most recent example of this push is the new new Civic Centre, scheduled for completion in 2008, which will feature gathering areas and a large outdoor skating rink. He has also been instrumental in helping to secure the extension of the Toronto Subway beyond its city boundaries and into Vaughan.
