A special election was held on September 23, 2025, to fill Arizona's 7th congressional district for the remainder of the 119th United States Congress. The result was certified by the Arizona Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, on October 14.

This followed the July 15, 2025, primary election which results were certified by Fontes 16 days later on July 31.

The seat became vacant following the death of incumbent Democrat Raúl Grijalva on March 13, 2025. It is considered a safely Democratic district.

The election was won by former Pima County supervisor Adelita Grijalva, Raúl Grijalva's daughter. The younger Grijalva won by 40%, a significant overperformance from Kamala Harris's 22% victory in the district in the 2024 presidential election.
