Below is a list of Mayors (Dutch: burgemeesters) of Amsterdam, capital city of the Netherlands. In 1824, it was decided only one person could govern the cities of The Hague and Amsterdam at a time. Mayors of Dutch municipalities are appointed by the municipal council after the acceptance of the King's Commissioner of the province.[1]
