This is a list of mayors of the city of Middelburg, Zeeland, capital of the province of Zeeland, The Netherlands. On 4 January 1824 it was decided by Royal Order that only one mayor at a time would govern the city.[1][2][3] Mayors of Dutch municipalities are officially appointed by the Crown, although usually the municipal council and the King's Commissioner of the province make the decision.[4]
