The 2018 Oklahoma City mayoral election took place on February 13, 2018. Incumbent Mayor Mick Cornett did not seek re-election to a fifth term,[1] instead opting to unsuccessfully run for Governor in the Republican primary.

Republican State Senator David Holt ran to succeed Cornett and faced two little-known opponents, University of Oklahoma student Taylor Neighbors and accountant Randall Smith. Holt won the election in a landslide, receiving 79 percent of the vote to Neighbors's 13 percent and Smith's 8 percent.[2]
