The 2025 National Party of Australia leadership spill was held on 12 May 2025 to elect the leader of the National Party of Australia. Incumbent leader David Littleproud was re-elected after being challenged by Queensland senator Matt Canavan, with Kevin Hogan elected deputy leader following Perin Davey's defeat at the 2025 federal election. Bridget McKenzie was re-elected as Nationals leader in the Senate, and although her term expires on 30 June 2025, Davey was elected deputy Senate leader.

The National Party holds an automatic leadership spill following every federal election. The results of its internal ballots are not officially released.
