Cities and municipalities across Serbia held local elections on 20 December 1992, with a second round of voting taking place on 3 January 1993. The local elections took place concurrently with parliamentary elections in Yugoslavia, presidential and parliamentary elections in Serbia, and elections for the Vojvodina provincial assembly.
The elections were held under a two-round system of voting in single-member constituencies.
The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) won the elections in most jurisdictions, including the capital Belgrade. The Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK) was successful in Serbia's predominantly Hungarian communities.
This was the second local election cycle to take place while Serbia was a member of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and it occurred against the backdrop of ongoing wars in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Results Belgrade Elections were held at the city level and in all of Belgrade's constituent municipalities. The Socialist Party of Serbia won a reduced majority victory in the city assembly and also won majority victories in most municipalities.

The opposition Democratic Movement of Serbia (DEPOS) won majority victories in Stari Grad, Voždovac, and Vračar.
