The 1825 Vermont gubernatorial election took place on September 6, 1825. It resulted in the election of Cornelius P. Van Ness to a one-year term as governor.
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 13. The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to review the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council. Democratic-Republican Cornelius P. Van Ness was the only candidate. The committee determined that Van Ness had easily won a third one-year term.
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican Aaron Leland was unopposed and had won election to a fourth one-year term.
Benjamin Swan was unopposed for election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-sixth. Though he had nominally been a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and even after the demise of the Federalist Party he was frequently unopposed. Contemporary newspaper accounts indicated that Van Ness, Leland, and Swan had won their races "nearly unanimously".
