The mayor of Kansas City, Kansas is the highest official of the city government. In 1997, voters approved the consolidation of Kansas City, Kansas government with that of Wyandotte County [clarification needed]. The office has since been referred to as "mayor/CEO" of the "United Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas." However, in popular terms, the head executive is called the mayor.[1]

The following is a list of mayors of the city and the original towns that were consolidated into it.[2]
