The mayor of Paris (French: Maire de Paris, [mɛʁ d(ə) paʁi]) is the chief executive of Paris, the capital and largest city in France.

The officeholder is responsible for the administration and management of the city, submits proposals and recommendations to the Council of Paris, is active in the enforcement of the city's ordinances, submits the city's annual budget and appoints city officers, department commissioners or directors, as well as members of city boards and commissions. During meetings of the Council of Paris, the mayor serves as the presiding officer, as it is the case in any other commune in France. Since Paris doubles as a department as well, the mayor also has the rank of a departmental council president.

Since 5 April 2014, Anne Hidalgo of the Socialist Party has been Mayor of Paris.
