List of mayors for Washington, D.C.

The cities of Washington and Georgetown also had mayors from 1802-1871. Governors administered the District of Columbia from 1871-1874. A Board of Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States adminstered the District from 1874-1974.

As such, it is analogous to the city mayors of other cities in the United States, but in some manners it is also analogous to governors of other states in the United States.
