The Boston mayoral election of 2017 was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, to elect the mayor of Boston, Massachusetts. Incumbent Democratic mayor Marty J. Walsh won re-election to a second term, defeating District 7 City Councilor Tito Jackson,^[1] and two long-shot candidates, Robert Cappucci and Joseph Wiley.^[2]^[3]

A non-partisan preliminary election was held on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, with Walsh and Jackson advancing into a November runoff election.^[4] In the November election, Walsh secured a landslide victory, winning by a two-to-one margin.^[5] A total of 109,034^[6] of the city's approximately 392,000 registered voters^[7] cast a ballot in the November election. The voter turnout of 27.80%^[6] was down ten percentage points from the 2013 mayoral election, which generated more excitement as the first Boston mayoral race in a generation without an incumbent.^[7]
