The 1910 mayoral election for the city of Birmingham was held on June 20, 1910, coinciding with a referendum on moving from a Mayor-Aldermen form of government to a three-member Birmingham City Commission. Voters overwhelmingly supported the City Commission plan and elected Culpepper Exum by a large majority to become Mayor and to continue serving once a new commission could be elected.

The Birmingham News, which campaigned on behalf of the proposed change in government, reported a quiet election day with just over 8,000 voters coming to the polls despite a sense of apathy observed during the campaign.
