An election for Mayor of New York City was held on November 6, 1894.
Incumbent mayor Thomas Francis Gilroy, whose administration had been severely weakened by the Lexow Committee investigations, was not a candidate for a second term. William Lafayette Strong, a reformist banker, easily defeated former mayor Hugh J. Grant to succeed Gilroy.
This was the final mayoral election held prior to the consolidation of Greater New York (including Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island) by a public referendum in December 1894. As a result of that referendum, Strong's term as mayor was extended by one year, making this the only election to a three-year term in office.
