The 2025 Whangārei District Council election was a local election held from 9 September to 11 October in the Whangārei District of New Zealand as part of that year's territorial authority elections and other local elections held nation-wide.
Voters elected the mayor of Whangārei and 13 district councillors for the 2025–2028 term of the Whangārei District Council. Postal voting and the single transferable voting voting system were used.
Councillor Ken Couper won the mayoralty, defeating incumbent mayor Vince Cocurullo.
The council introduced a Māori ward at the 2022 election; in a referendum on its future held alongside this election (as part of a nation-wide series of referendums) voters elected to remove the Māori ward for future elections.
