The following is a list of mayors (alcaldes) of Trujillo since the city's foundation in 1534.
Under Spanish rule, the city's cabildo was headed by an Alcalde ordinario. Currently, the city's local government is under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Municipality of Trujillo, which administers the province as a whole.
The aforementioned current system of government dates back to 1963, with the creation of the local government system under the first presidency of Fernando Belaúnde. From its creation until 1998, with an exemption between 1968 and 1980 due to military rule, the term of office was three years. Mayors have since been elected every four years.
The installation of the first cabildo in Trujillo was held on March 5, 1535. The first mayors were named by Francisco Pizarro, and they were Rodrigo Lozano and Blas de Atienza.
