{{main|List of mayors of Augsburg}}
From 1266 until 1548, the terms ''Stadtpfleger'' (head of town council) and ''[[Mayor]]'' were used interchangeably, or occasionally, simultaneously. In 1548 the title was finally fixed to ''Stadtpfleger'', who officiated for several years and was then awarded the title for life (though no longer governing), thus resulting confusingly, in records of two or more simultaneous ''Stadtpfleger''.

After the transfer to [[Bavaria]] in 1806, Augsburg was ruled by a [[Magistrate]] with two mayors, supported by an additional council of "Community Commissioners": the ''Gemeindebevollmächtige''.

As of 1907, the Mayor was entitled [[Lord Mayor|Oberbürgermeister]], as Augsburg had reached a population of 100,000, as per the Bavarian [[Gemeindeordnung]].

===Mayor===
The mayor of Augsburg has been Eva Weber of the [[Christian Social Union in Bavaria|Christian Social Union]] (CSU) since 2020. The most recent mayoral election was held on 15 March 2020, with a runoff held on 29 March, and the results were as follows:
