Celso Pitta (born September 29, 1946) is a Brazilian economist and politician.

Pitta was the first Afro-Brazilian mayor of São Paulo, Brazil from 1997 to 2000, elected as the successor of Paulo Maluf, having his explicit political endorsement, since he worked with Maluf's administration as Secretary of Finance. He was a member of the PPB party at that time, and faced corruption allegations like his predecessor, most notoriously with accusations coming from his ex-wife, Nicéa Camargo. On May 26, 2000 he was ousted from office by a decision of the São Paulo State Superior Court, and the vice-mayor, Régis de Oliveira, was inaugurated as the new mayor. 18 days later the court's decision was reversed and Pitta returned to office, Régis became vice-mayor again. In 2002 he ran for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, and in 2004 in the city council, but wasn't elected either time.
