The Mayor of Moscow (Russian: Мэр Москвы, romanized: 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 subject, according to the Constitution of Russia.[1] Most federal subjects are 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.[2]

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