This is a list of mayors of Seattle, Washington, USA.

On January 14, 1865, the Territorial Legislature approved the incorporation of the town of Seattle. However, following submission of a petition by several of the Town's citizens, Seattle was unincorporated on January 28, 1867[1]. Records of this two year period of municipal government did not survive. The town (now a city) of Seattle was incorporated a second time on December 2, 1869.[2]
