This is a list of mayors and governors of Vienna since 1282.
Vienna is the capital city of Austria. Since 1920, it has also been an Austrian state, with its mayor doubling as the Landeshauptmann (governor or minister-president) of the State of Vienna.
Since 24 May 2018, Michael Ludwig has served as Mayor of Vienna.[1]
In 1922, the city of Vienna was constituted as a separate state of Austria. It had previously been the capital of Lower Austria. Thus Vienna's mayor also has the rank of a state governor.
