Introduction: Life expectancy (LE) is a relevant indicator for planning health care and social services in a city. Bogotá does not have the development to analyze these indicators by small geographic units - the localities. Objective: To analyze the evolution of LE in Bogotá between 1985-2021, considering the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality and exploring variations by gender and locality. Methodology: A retrospective study based on official birth and death data for Bogotá. Mortality tables, LE at birth, and survival curves were calculated and deaths were analyzed by age from 1985-2021. Results: LE in Bogotá steadily increased over the years. However, there was a decrease in 2020 and 2021 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In those year, significant variations in LE were identified by locality and gender. Survival curves improved overall, but there was stagnation or even a decline in older age groups in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. Conclusions: LE is a fundamental indicator for assessing the health and development of a population. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on mortality in Bogotá, resulting in a reduction in LE. Geographic and gender differences highlight the importance of specific public policies to address inequalities.
