Elections were held in Osijek, Croatia, on 16 and 30 May 2021 for the 49th Mayor of Osijek, the two deputy mayors and the 31 members of the Osijek City Council, as part of the 2021 Croatian local elections.[1] The incumbent mayor, Ivan Vrkić, announced on 11 July 2020 that he will not run for another term.[2]

This was the third direct election for the mayor of Osijek (simultaneously held with elections for all other county prefects and mayors in Croatia) since the popular vote method was introduced in 2009, as previously those officials had been elected by their county or city assemblies and councils.[3]
