Raymond Alvin Neri Garcia (born January 29, 1977) is a Filipino politician and lawyer who has been serving as the 28th Mayor of Cebu City since 2024. He previously served as the city's 20th Vice Mayor from 2022 to 2024, and as City Councilor for the North (1st) District from 2016 to 2022.
Garcia served as acting mayor following the suspension of Mayor Mike Rama by the Ombudsman on May 8, 2024, and fully assumed the office of Mayor after Rama's dismissal on October 9, 2024. Formerly allies turned political enemies, both of them ran for Mayor in the 2025 Cebu City local elections, losing to city councilor Nestor Archival.
