The Mayor of the City of Split ({{langx|hr|Gradonačelnik Grada Splita}}), colloquially the Poteštat (derived from "podestà"), is the highest official of the Croatian city of Split. From 1990 to 2007 the mayor was elected by the city assembly. Since 2007 Croatian mayors have been elected directly by the citizens.{{cite news | url = http://www.zakon.hr/z/361/Zakon-o-izborima-op%C4%87inskih-na%C4%8Delnika,-gradona%C4%8Delnika,-%C5%BEupana-i-gradona%C4%8Delnika-Grada-Zagreba | newspaper = Narodne novine | language = hr | author = Sabor | title = Zakon o izborima općinskih načelnika, gradonačelnika, župana i gradonačelnika Grada Zagreba | date = 5 October 2007 | access-date = 14 May 2012}} The first such election in Split occurred in 2009.

List

Here follows a list of the 72 men who have thus far served as Mayor (or President of the City Council) of the City of Split. They were immediately preceded by the succession of podestà (city "princes" or "governors", kneževi) under the Venetian Republic. The latter were colloquially known as "poteštati", and usually also held the office of Captain of the City. The term "poteštat" has since remained as a local, traditional term for the mayor as well.
