The Mayor of Louisville Metro (or Metro Mayor) is the current mayoral head of government for the consolidated city-county government of Louisville, Kentucky. The position was created in 2002 when the Louisville and Jefferson County governments merged.

The first Metro Mayor is Jerry E. Abramson, who had previously served three terms as Mayor of Louisville. He was elected with 73.4 percent of the vote.

In the 2006 mayoral race, Abramson's opponent will be Louisville Metro Council member Kelly Downard (R).
