Annise Danette Parker (born May 17, 1956) is an American Democratic politician. She was the 61st Mayor of Houston, Texas from 2010 until 2016. She also was an at-large member of the Houston City Council from 1998 to 2003 and city controller from 2004 to 2010.[1][2]

Parker was Houston's second female mayor and one of the first openly gay mayors of a major U.S. city, with Houston being the most populous U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor until Lori Lightfoot was elected mayor of Chicago in 2019.[3][4][5]
