2021 Omaha mayoral election

The 2021 Omaha mayoral election was held in 2021. Incumbent Republican mayor Jean Stothert was re-elected to a third term in office. Stothert is the first person elected to a third consecutive term as mayor of Omaha in the modern era.

The position of mayor in Omaha is officially a non-partisan position. A blanket primary was held on April 6, 2021. The top two finishers in the primary moved on to the general election which was held on May 11, 2021.

Alongside the mayor, the Omaha City Council was up for re-election. It is also officially non-partisan.
