|wketx=The dēmarchos (Greek: δήμαρχος, lit. 'archon of the deme'; plural δήμαρχοι, dēmarchoi), anglicized as Demarch, is a title historically given to officials related to civic administration. In ancient Athens the title was given to the elected chief magistrate of each of the demes of Attica. In later literature, the term was used as a translation of the Roman office of tribunus plebis. In the Byzantine Empire the dēmarchos was the leader of one of the racing factions (then known as "demes") of the Hippodrome of Constantinople. Largely concerned with ceremonial in the early centuries, from the 11th century the title was applied to various administrative positions in Constantinople, until the end of the empire. In modern usage, the term is used for the mayor of a municipality. | |wketx=The dēmarchos (Greek: δήμαρχος, lit.

|wkittx=Il demarco (in greco antico: δήμαρχος) nell'antica Atene era il magistrato a capo dei demi, che ai tempi della riforma di Clistene erano 139; teneva anche il registro dei cittadini maggiorenni e di quello concernente le proprietà immobiliari, usato a fini fiscali. | |||
Il suo potere è stato paragonato a quello di un capovillaggio o, con terminologia moderna, quello del sindaco. | |||
I singoli demi avevano anche competenze in tema di culti religiosi: nei demi rurali i demarchi avevano il compito di organizzare le piccole Dionisie, con funzioni analoghe a quelle che per l'intera polis erano esercitate dall'arconte, sia pur con poteri minori. | |||
Nel mondo romano svolgeva una funzione simile il tribuno della plebe. | |||
