The 1992 Auckland City mayoral election was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year. In 1992, elections were held for the Mayor of Auckland plus other local government positions including twenty-four city councillors. The polling was conducted using the standard first-past-the-post electoral method.
Incumbent mayor Les Mills stood for a second term and was re-elected. His main opponent was Western Bays ward councillor Sue Corbett who stood for the left-wing Alliance after leaving the centre-right Citizens & Ratepayers ticket in April 1992 over policy disagreements.
