This is a list of mayors of Barcelona since 1835. The Mayor of Barcelona is the highest political authority of the Barcelona City Council. In accordance with Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime (currently in force), the mayor or mayoress is elected by the municipal corporation of councilors, who in turn are elected by universal suffrage by the citizens of Barcelona with the right to vote, through municipal elections held every four years. The candidate who obtains the absolute majority of the votes is proclaimed elected. If none of them obtains said majority, the councilor who heads the most voted list is proclaimed mayor.
