Ronald Adrian Nirenberg (born April 11, 1977) is an American politician who served as the mayor of San Antonio, Texas between 2017 and 2025. Prior to his election, Nirenberg served as a member of the San Antonio City Council for District 8 for two terms.

In 2013, Nirenberg was first elected in an upset victory to represent district 8 of the San Antonio City Council. Nirenberg was elected mayor in 2017, defeating incumbent Ivy Taylor, and was sworn in on June 21, 2017. He was narrowly re-elected in 2019 over Greg Brockhouse, a city councilman critical of his policies. In the 2021 mayoral election, again facing Brockhouse, Nirenberg won with 61.89% of the vote. In the 2023 mayoral election, Nirenberg won his fourth and final election as mayor, with unofficial results of over 61% of the vote.
