The 2025 Whanganui District Council election was a local election held from 9 September to 11 October in the Whanganui 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 Whanganui, 12 district councillors, and other local representatives for the 2025–2028 term of the Whanganui District Council. Postal voting and the first-past-the-post voting system were used.
The council voted to introduce a Māori ward at this election; its future was decided in a referendum on the issue, as part of a nation-wide series of referendums.
Incumbent mayor Andrew Tripe was re-elected to a second term.
