List of mayors of Lima

The following is a list of mayors (alcaldes) of Lima since the city's foundation in 1535. Under Spanish rule, the city's cabildo was headed by an Alcalde ordinario. Currently, the city's local government is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, which administers the province as a whole, equal in status to a regional government. The aforementioned current system of government dates back to 1963, with the creation of the local government system under the first presidency of Fernando Belaúnde. From its creation until 1998, with an exemption between 1968 and 1980 due to military rule, the term of office was three years. Mayors have since been elected every four years.
