The 2025 Christchurch mayoral election was a local election held from 9 September to 11 October in Christchurch, New Zealand, as part of that year's city council election and nation-wide local elections. Voters elected the mayor of Christchurch for the 2025–2028 term. Postal voting and the first-past-the-post voting system were used. Incumbent centre-right independent mayor Phil Mauger ran for a second term, with incumbent centre-left independent councillor Sara Templeton as his main challenger; there were six other candidates for the position.

Mauger defeated Templeton and was re-elected.
