In 1972 the United States Postal Service honored La Guardia with a 14-cent postage stamp.

New York's LaGuardia Airport, LaGuardia Community College, and other parks and buildings around New York City are named for him.

A strong supporter of Zionism, LaGuardia Street and LaGuardia interchange both in Tel Aviv, Israel, were named in his honor.

A street in Rijeka, Croatia is named after Fiorello LaGuardia.
La Guardia worked in Rijeka as a U.S. Consular Agent from 1903 to 1906, when the city was known as Fiume and was under Hungarian administration.
It was during this time that Rijeka's port played a vital role in connecting the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the United States, featuring direct passenger service between Rijeka and New York.

Known for his love of music, La Guardia was noted for spontaneously conducting professional and student orchestras and was instrumental in the creation of the High School of Music & Art in 1936, now renamed the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

La Guardia was a fictionalized character in many films – in Ghostbusters II La Guardia's ghost talks to New York Mayor Lenny (played by David Margulies).
He was also the subject of the hit 1959 Broadway musical Fiorello!,
portrayed by actor Tom Bosley and in The Little Flower, portrayed by Tony Lo Bianco.
The original production of Fiorello!
won 3 Tony Awards including Best Musical, as well as a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1960, and ran for two years from 1959 to 1961.
He was also featured in the ever popular Jewish children’s tape, “When Zaidy Was Young, Tale Two”, and the CD, When Zaidy was Young, Tale Three, by Rabbi Shmuel Kunda, in which some people mistakenly thought his name was "Mayor Figgaleli La Garden Hose".
