This is a list of mayors of the North Sydney Council, a local government area in the lower north shore region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The Council was incorporated initially on 29 July 1890 as the Borough of North Sydney. Initially elected by alderman of the Council, since 1983 the mayor has been directly elected for a four-year term by the voters in the local government area. The official title of mayors while holding office is His/Her Worship the Mayor of the North Sydney Council.

The current mayor of North Sydney Council is Cr. Jilly Gibson, an independent politician, elected on 8 September 2012. Gibson was first elected on 8 September 2012 and was re-elected for a second term on 9 September 2017 at the same time as her daughter, Dr Alanya Drummond, who was elected as a Councillor for Tunks Ward.[1]

History

The area now covered by North Sydney Council originally comprised three municipalities: the Borough of East St Leonards from 1860 (Kirribilli, Cremorne Point, Milsons Point), the Borough of St Leonards from 1867 (Cammeray, Mosman, Waverton, Wollstonecraft) and the very small Borough of Victoria from 1871 (McMahons Point and parts of North Sydney and Lavender Bay). These boroughs lasted until 29 July 1890 when they merged to form the "Borough of North Sydney".[2]

Following a petition submitted by residents in 1892, on 11 April 1893 the Mossman Ward of North Sydney confirmed its separation as the Borough of Mosman, being proclaimed by Lieutenant-Governor Sir Frederick Darley.[3] From 28 December 1906, following the passing of the Local Government Act, 1906, the council was renamed as the "Municipality of North Sydney". With the passing of the Local Government Act, 1993, the Municipality of North Sydney was legally renamed as North Sydney Council and aldermen were renamed councillors.
