The 2010 Hamilton municipal election was held on October 25, 2010,[1] to select one mayor, fifteen members of the Hamilton, Ontario City Council and members of both English and French public and Catholic school boards.[2] Nominations opened January 4, 2010, and ran until September 10, 2010.

Hamiltonians elected their third mayor in as many elections, choosing former Ward 2 Councillor Bob Bratina over Larry Di Ianni (Mayor 2003–2006) and incumbent mayor Fred Eisenberger, who had served in the role since 2006. The council election to succeed Bratina in Ward 2 drew 20 candidates, while Ward 14 Councillor Robert Patsuta was acclaimed. Only one incumbent councillor was defeated: Brenda Johnstone defeated long-time councillor Dave Mitchell in Ward 11. Many Catholic School Board trustees were defeated by first-time candidates.
