The 2026 Newham mayoral election will be held on 7 May 2026 to elect the mayor of Newham, on the same date as the Newham local council election and other local elections across the country.
The position of Mayor of Newham was established in 1965 as a ceremonial role and was given political powers in 2002. Robin Wales of the Labour Party won the mayoral elections in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014; he was succeeded by fellow Labour mayor Rokhsana Fiaz in the 2018 and 2022 elections. Wales subsequently joined Reform UK after leaving office.
