The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 144th season overall, 139th season as a member of the National League, and 25th season at PNC Park.
On May 8, manager Derek Shelton was fired after posting a 12–26 record to begin the season. Bench coach Don Kelly was named manager the same day.
On June 28, franchise legend Dave Parker died from complications of Parkinson's disease at the age of 74. As a member of the Pirates, Parker won two National League batting titles, was the 1978 National League Most Valuable Player, and was a member of the 1979 World Series team. His death occurred 29 days before his scheduled Baseball Hall of Fame induction.
The Pirates finished with a record of 71–91, failing to improve on their 76–86 record from the previous season and missing the playoffs for the tenth straight year. Kelly finished the season with a 59–65 (.476) record. Despite the team's offensive woes, in which they finished last in MLB for runs scored with 583, the Pirates' pitching staff ranked fifth in runs allowed with 645, and led MLB in shutouts with 19.
