The following table shows the mayors of Dallas. Mayors are numbered based on the actual election. Mayors elected multiple times in non-consecutive years are counted more than once. For example, Mayor John M Crockett, is counted as Mayor 2, 5, and 8. Acting mayors are not counted as official mayors because they were appointed by City Hall, not elected by the public.
