The 2025 Hastings District Council election was a local election held from 9 September to 11 October in the Hastings District of New Zealand, as part of that year's territorial authority elections and other local elections held nation-wide.
Voters elected the mayor of Hastings and 15 district councillors for the 2025–2028 term of the Hastings District Council. Postal voting and the first-past-the-post voting system were used.
Councillor Wendy Schollum won the mayoralty, with fellow councillor Marcus Buddo coming in second-place.
The council introduced a Māori ward at the 2022 election; in a referendum on its future held at this election (as part of a nation-wide series of referendums) voters elected to remove the Māori ward for future elections.
