General elections were held in the City of Buenos Aires on 3 June 2007 to elect the Chief of Government (mayor) and half of the City Legislature to four-year terms. As no mayoral candidate won a majority in the first round, a runoff was held on 31 July 2011, in which Mauricio Macri, of the Commitment to Change (CpC) party, defeated Daniel Filmus of the Front for Victory (FPV) coalition to be elected as Chief of Government of Buenos Aires.

Incumbent Jorge Telerman, who had assumed office just over a year prior to the election following the impeachment of Aníbal Ibarra over repercussions from the 2004 Cromañón nightclub fire, sought re-election but was defeated in the first round.
