The 2025 New Orleans mayoral election was held on October 11, 2025, to elect the mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana. Under the Louisiana primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot regardless of party. A runoff was scheduled to be held on November 15 between the top-two candidates, if none managed to achieve a majority of the vote.

Incumbent mayor LaToya Cantrell was term-limited and thus ineligible to run for re-election in 2025.

The election was won by president of the New Orleans City Council Helena Moreno. She was elected with 54.9% of the vote, avoiding a runoff.
