The 1921 Miami mayoral election took place on July 12, 1921, to elect the mayor of Miami, Florida.[1]

This was an off-year election.

Incumbent W.P. Smith was not on the ballot. Instead, 10 other candidates vied for seats on the city council, which would lead to the selection of a mayor. The city charter was amended earlier that year to adopt the commission-manager form of government.[2]

Charles Doyle Leffler 'Uncle Charlie' was chosen from his peers on the city council as Miami's 10th Mayor.
