The 2021 Dearborn mayoral election took place on November 2, 2021, following a primary election on August 3, 2021. Incumbent Mayor John B. O'Reilly Jr. declined to seek re-election, creating an open seat for the first time in thirty-six years. A crowded field emerged to succeed O'Reilly, and in the primary, State Representative Abdullah Hammoud placed first, receiving 42 percent of the vote. Former County Commissioner Gary Woronchak narrowly beat out City Council President Susan Dabaja for second, winning 18 percent of the vote to Dabaja's 17 percent. Hammoud ultimately defeated Woronchak by a wide margin, winning 55–45 percent, becoming the city's first Muslim mayor.
