Jeffrey Mark "Jeff" Friedman (1945-2007) was an American politician in the state of Texas.
Friedman was a campus political activist who became the youngest person ever elected to the City Council of Austin, Texas in 1971.
He is best remembered as the city's so-called "hippie mayor" who led an alliance of young, ethnic, and left wing voters to capture the reins of city government in 1975 — an event that helped cement Austin's place as a liberal bastion in a conservative state and region.
