The 1925 Indianapolis mayoral election was held on November 3, 1925, and saw the election of Republican former Marion County treasurer John L. Duvall, who defeated Democratic former Indianapolis city attorney Walter Meyers.

The 1925 municipal elections were notable for the presence of the Ku Klux Klan. John L. Duvall was a member of the Klan. However, contemporarily, the election was considered to one of the most tame municipal elections in then-recent memory.
