Tom Brabazon is an Irish politician and former Lord Mayor of Dublin. A Dublin City Councillor since 2003, he was elected Deputy Lord Mayor in 2019, and was elected Lord Mayor in February 2020 following his predecessor Paul McAuliffe's election to Dáil Éireann.[2] His term as Lord Mayor ended on 29 June 2020.

Brabazon was co-opted to Dublin City Council in 2003 following the abolition of the dual mandate and was re-elected in 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019.[2]

In 2015, Brabazon was criticised for comments in Northside People on childbirth and gender quotas,[3][4] but later withdrew and apologised for the remarks.[5]
