The 2025 FISU Summer World University Games, also known as Rhine-Ruhr 2025, was a multi-sport event held from 16 to 27 July 2025, in five cities in Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region and in Berlin as an outlying venue in Germany. The Rhine-Ruhr region had previously hosted the 1989 Summer Universiade in Duisburg.

The event returned to its traditional 2-year cycle following the 2021 Summer World University Games in Chengdu, first postponed until 2022 and then postponed again to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic (replacing Yekaterinburg 2023 due to Russian invasion of Ukraine).
