The 2015 Nashville mayoral election took place on August 6, 2015, to elect the next mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Incumbent Democratic Mayor Karl Dean was term limited and could not run for re-election to a third term in office.[2] Since there was no candidate that received a majority of votes in the initial round of the election, a runoff election was held. In the runoff election, Democratic candidate Megan Barry was elected with 54.8% of the vote, defeating Republican Candidate David Fox.[3][4]

No candidates received the required majority for the election. Therefore, a runoff election took place on September 10, 2015, between the two candidates receiving the most votes, Megan Barry and David Fox.
