The 2021 Edmonton municipal election was held on October 18, 2021, to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the Edmonton city council, nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools. It was held in conjunction with the 2021 Alberta municipal elections.

In conjunction with the municipal elections, residents voted in a provincially mandated Senate nominee election, a referendum on equalization and on whether to adopt permanent daylight saving time.[2]

Incumbent mayor Don Iveson announced in November 2020 that he would not be seeking re-election.[3]

Mayor and councillors were elected through first-past-the-post voting in single-member wards.

The total number of votes cast for mayor was 236,488.[4]
