- The mayoralty of Dianne Feinstein lasted from November 27, 1978, to January 8, 1988, while she served as the 38th Mayor of San Francisco. Feinstein gained the position following the Moscone–Milk assassinations, in which her predecessor, Mayor George Moscone, was killed by Dan White, a former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She was formally appointed to the position by the Board of Supervisors by a vote of six to two and inaugurated on December 4, 1978. Feinstein appointed three of the eleven member San Francisco Board of Supervisors within a month of her appointment as mayor.

During her tenure she oversaw the first city budget to cost over $1 billion, saw large budget surpluses, traveled to multiple eastern Asian countries, enacted gun control legislation, enacted the first rent control legislation, oversaw the city's reaction to HIV/AIDS, and instituted other economic and social policies in San Francisco.
