Mayor of Mega-City One is a fictional office in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. The most significant mayor to appear in the comic was serial killer PJ Maybe, in disguise as Byron Ambrose. The real political power in Mega-City One is not held by the mayor but by the unelected judges, headed by the Chief Judge. However, the citizens are allowed some very limited degree of self-government in the form of a democratically elected council headed by a mayor, with powers over relatively minor matters and the authority to make representations to Justice Department. The office did not really exist in any meaningful sense between the years 2104 and 2117.

King Iggy of Brit-Cit mistakenly believed that a protest to the Mayor's office would mean anything in the 2100s. The office appears to have been fallow from 2107 to 2117, when Chief Judge Hadrian Volt reinstated the city council and the mayorship, as part of his constitutional reforms to give a little more power to the people. The elected authorities have since been shown to have more powers than they did before, with influence on planning permissions, welfare, and outsourcing. As always, the mayor has to obey the Judges.
