1907 Boston mayoral election

The Boston mayoral election of 1907 was held on Tuesday, December 10,^[1] and saw Republican nominee George A. Hibbard defeat Democratic incumbent John F. Fitzgerald as well as Independence League nominee John A. Coulthurst. Ahead of the general election, primary elections for each party had taken place on Thursday, November 14, 1907.

This was the final Boston mayoral election for a two-year term, and that was partisan in nature; a new city charter adopted in 1909 made the mayoral term four years, and made Boston municipal elections non-partisan.^[2]

Hibbard was inaugurated on Monday, January 6, 1908.^[3]
