An election for Mayor of New York City was held on December 6, 1859.
Incumbent mayor Daniel F. Tiemann was not a candidate for re-election. Former mayor Fernando Wood, running on a "Mozart Hall" Democratic ticket in opposition to his former Tammany Hall allies, won a three-way race to succeed him, defeating William F. Havemeyer and Republican George Opdyke.
