The 1993 Atlanta mayoral election occurred on November 2, 1993, with a runoff election held on November 23, 1993.

Incumbent mayor Maynard Jackson declined to seek reelection to what would have been a fourth overall (and second consecutive) term, citing family and personal reasons.[1][2]

Since no candidate received a majority in the general election, a runoff election was held between the top-two finishers. Bill Campbell won election in the runoff.
