The mayor of Bacoor (Filipino: Punong Lungsod ng Bakoor) is the head of the executive branch of city government of Bacoor, a first-class urban component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the mayor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former mayor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor. The present office was established in 1908 during the American colonial period after the reconstitution of Bacoor in 1906 from Imus, succeeding the Spanish-era offices of the gobernadorcillo and capitán municipal of Bacoor. Twenty-one individuals have held this position since its formation.
