👉 Municipal Chamber of Lisbon in the context of List of mayors of Lisbon

This is a list of mayors of Lisbon (Portuguese: Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, CML, literally: "President of the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon", and also Portuguese: Presidente do Município de Lisboa, literally: "President of the Municipality of Lisbon"), the capital city of Portugal, and also the most populated.

This office is considered one of the most important in Portugal's politics, even more sought than the office of minister (following António Costa's resignation from a ministerial position to contest the 2007 elections, which he won). Of the nine elected mayors since 1976, two became Prime Minister of Portugal - Pedro Santana Lopes in 2004 and António Costa in 2015; One became President of the Republic - Jorge Sampaio in 1996.
