The 1975 Tampa mayoral election was held on September 2, 1975. Incumbent Mayor Bill Poe, who was first elected in a 1974 special election, ran for re-election to a full term. He was challenged by his opponent from the 1974 election, former City Councilmember Joe Kotvas. While Poe only narrowly defeated Kotvas in 1974, he won the rematch in a landslide, receiving 61 percent of the vote to Kotvas's 39 percent.
