The Mayor of Las Piñas City (Filipino: Punong Lungsod ng Las Piñas) is the head of the executive branch of the Las Piñas government and the chief executive of Las Pinas. The mayor's office administers all city services, public property, police and fire protection, and most public agencies, and enforces all city laws within the boundaries of Las Pinas.

The mayor holds office at the Las Piñas City Hall. The mayor appoints numerous officials, including deputy mayors and the commissioners who head city agencies and departments.

Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the mayor is elected via popular vote. He may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former mayor may return to office after one term). In case of death, resignation, or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor.

The current mayor is Imelda Aguilar,[1] who was elected on June 30, 2016.
