The 2025 Wellington mayoral election was a local election held from 9 September to 11 October in Wellington, New Zealand, as part of that year's city council election and nation-wide local elections. Voters elected the mayor of Wellington for the 2025–2028 term of the Wellington City Council. Postal voting and the single transferable vote system were used.

The incumbent mayor Tory Whanau did not run for a second term as mayor, instead running for council in the Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori ward.

Former Labour leader Andrew Little won the mayoralty in a landslide.
