The 2020 Milwaukee mayoral election was held on Tuesday, April 7, 2020,[1] concurrent with Wisconsin's Spring general election and presidential preference primary. Incumbent mayor Tom Barrett won his fifth four-year term as mayor of Milwaukee, receiving 62% of the vote against state senator Lena Taylor.

Municipal elections in Wisconsin are non-partisan, but both general election candidates in this case were members of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. A non-partisan primary was held on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, in which the top two vote-getters advanced to the April general election.[1]

This election was also significantly affected by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin.[2]
