The Mayor of North Tyneside is the executive mayor of the borough of North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. The incumbent since 2025 is Karen Clark. A Mayoral Referendum was held on 5 May 2016 to determine if residents wished to retain the Mayoral system or change to a committee system. The number of votes for continuing with the mayoral system was 32,546 (57.5%) against 23,703 (41.8%) for a committee system.
Until 2023, mayoral elections were held under the supplementary vote electoral system. The mayor is now elected through first-past-the-post voting, after the electoral system for mayoral elections in England were changed by the Elections Act 2022.
