The Pittsburgh mayoral election of 2021 will be held on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, to elect the mayor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Two-term incumbent Bill Peduto will be eligible to run for a third term.

Bill Peduto
Incumbent Democrat Bill Peduto said on Pittsburgh radio channel WESA on August 25, 2020 that he fully intends to run for reelection in 2021. This announcement was made during a period of unpopularity in which critics claimed that Peduto was handling social justice protests poorly.

Tony Moreno
On September 19, 2019, retired police officer Tony Moreno announced that he was going to oppose Peduto as a Democrat. The early candidacy declaration was in order to gain popularity, per Moreno.

No Republicans have announced candidacy for the mayorship.

Primaries
Potential primaries have not been set yet; however, the 2017 primaries took place on May 16, 2017, and the corresponding date would be May 11 or 18, 2021.
