The City Mayor of Taguig ({{langx|fil|Punong Lungsod ng Tagig}}) is the head of the executive branch of the Taguig city government. The mayor holds office at the Taguig City Hall. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the mayor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former mayor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor. The city mayor is restricted to three consecutive terms, totaling nine years, and cannot be elected for a fourth consecutive term. However, a mayor can be elected again after an interval of one term. Lani Cayetano of Nacionalista Party is the incumbent since 2022.
History
From the start, Taguig has its own chieftain, Lakan named Juan Basi who fought his life against the Spaniard along with Agustin de Legaspi, a nephew of Lakan Dula and son-in-law of the Sultan of Brunei during the Magat Salamat uprising in 1587–1588. But since the year 1584, a non-resident vicar from the Augustinian order named P. Melchor de Ribera was assigned to convert to Christianity the natives of the town.
In 1587, according to P. Gaspar San Agustin, Taguig was once again accepted in the list of "Augustinian Chapter" in a meeting held on April 4, 1587 through "Tomamos de nuevo la casa de Tagui, con voto".Augustinian Archives, Valladolid, Spain, Libro de Gobierno de la Provincia. I, folio 55.

From 1856 to 1897, Taguig, then a municipality of the province of Manila (previously Tondo until 1859), was headed by the capitan municipal as its chief executive. Following the Philippine Declaration of Independence, the position was replaced by the Pangulo ng Bayan ({{translation|Municipal President}}), which was solely held by Baltazar Capistrano from 1898 to 1899. In 1901, the year when Taguig became part of the newly established province of Rizal, the chief executive was named mayor, which was first held by Feliciano Pagkalinawan. Despite merging with Pateros from 1903 to 1909, both municipalities had different leaders, respectively.
