The 2025 Detroit mayoral election was held on November 4, 2025, to elect the next mayor of Detroit, Michigan. It was preceded by a primary election held on August 5, in which the two highest-placing candidates advanced to the general election. Municipal elections in Michigan are officially nonpartisan.

Incumbent mayor Mike Duggan was eligible to run for re-election to a fourth term but is instead running in the 2026 Michigan gubernatorial election. Mary Sheffield, the Democratic Party-affiliated president of the Detroit City Council going into the mayoral election, defeated the Reverend Solomon Kinloch Jr., the senior pastor of a Southeast Michigan-based Charismatic Christian megachurch, in the November 4 general election.
