Local elections was held in the Municipality of Makati on May 11, 1992, within the 1992 Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the municipality: the mayor, vice mayor, the lone district representative, and the councilors, six in each of the town's two administrative districts. This was the first election in which the elections for the national and local positions were conducted simultaneously and the first to elect councilors by district rather than at-large. This was also the last post-1986 local election in which Makati is still a municipality, as the town will be a chartered city by January 2, 1995.

Results Mayor Incumbent mayor Jejomar Binay won against six other mayoralty contenders.
Vice Mayor Former councilor Arturo "Toro" Yabut won against six other candidates.
Makati's lone district representative Lawyer Joker Arroyo (Independent) was elected as the representative of Makati's lone congressional district, defeating five other contenders.
However, on January 25, 1995, Arroyo's victory was annulled by the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET), as a result of an electoral protest filed by Augusto Syjuco Jr., citing irregularities in the vote count at most precincts. Arroyo challenged the HRET ruling and filed a counter-protest questioning Syjuco's residency, which was eventually dismissed. The ruling was later reversed on July 14, 1995, two weeks after his first term ended.
