Lisa Scaffidi (nee Sanders) is the first female Lord Mayor of Perth, Western Australia. Scaffidi won the seat in the October 2007 council elections after the previous incumbent Peter Nattrass retired at the end of a record twelve years in the position.

Scaffidi was educated at Churchlands Primary School and Methodist Ladies' College after which she graduated as a dental therapist and worked for a short period as an air hostess with TAA in the 1980s. Prior to winning the Lord Mayoral title she was a director with think-tank Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) for over ten years.

She served two terms as a Councillor, with her 2003 win being the most votes ever recorded by a City of Perth Councillor, before running for Lord Mayor. She won the Lord Mayoral seat from 4 other candidates by 432 votes.
