An election forMayor of New York City was held in November 1913.

Incumbent mayorWilliam Jay Gaynor died on September 10. In the race to succeed him, RepublicanJohn Purroy Mitchel, running on an independent fusion ticket, defeated Democratic judgeEdward E. McCall and Socialist newspaper editorCharles Edward Russell in a landslide.

As the 1913 mayoral election approached, the Citizens Municipal Committee of 107 set out to find a candidate that would give New York "a non-partisan, efficient and progressive government." They were assisted in this endeavor by the Fusion Executive Committee, led by Joseph M. Price of the City Club of New York.^[1] After nine ballots,John Purroy Mitchel was nominated as a candidate for mayor. During his campaign, Mitchel focused on modernizing and fighting corruption in the city government.^[2]
