Melvin Douglas (Mel) Lastman (born March 9, 1933) was the mayor of the former city of North York, Ontario, Canada from 1972 until 1997. In 1997, North York, along with four other municipalities, amalgamated with the city of Toronto. Lastman ran for and won the mayoral race for the new city, beating incumbent Toronto mayor Barbara Hall. Re-elected in November 2000, he served his full final term. Lastman did not run in the subsequent 2003 municipal election.
