The mayor of Hackney is a directly elected mayor responsible for the executive function of Hackney London Borough Council in London, England. The post was created following a referendum in the London Borough of Hackney on 2 May 2002. The inaugural mayor Jules Pipe was succeeded by Philip Glanville following an election on 15 September 2016. Glanville resigned with effect from 22 September 2023, following a scandal. Fellow Labour Party councillor Caroline Woodley was elected as Mayor in November 2023.

History

The directly elected mayoralty was created following a referendum on 2 May 2002 in the London Borough of Hackney. 70.1% of voters supported changing the executive arrangements of Hackney London Borough Council to a directly elected mayor.

The inaugural mayor was Jules Pipe of the Labour Party who was elected on 17 October 2002. He was re-elected in 2006, 2010 and 2014.

Pipe was succeeded by Philip Glanville, who was elected mayor at a by-election on 15 September 2016. Glanville was re-elected in 2018 and 2022.

On 15 September 2023, Glanville resigned, with effect from 22 September, following a scandal when he was photographed together with his housemate and Labour Party councillor Tom Dewey the night after he was arrested for child pornography charges. Tom Dewey was convicted before Glanville resigned. A by-election was held on 9 November to fill the remainder of the term, and was won by Caroline Woodley, a Labour councillor for Cazenove ward.
