The 2025 World Weightlifting Championships was a weightlifting competition that took place in Førde, Norway from 2 to 11 October 2025.

Athletes representing the Commonwealth Weightlifting Federation (CWF) compete in the World Championships solely for qualification for the XXIII Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2026, and their results are not officially considered valid for the world title. They include England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the British Crown Dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man) and the British Overseas Territories, under the jurisdiction of the British Weightlifting Federation, but not recognised by the IWF. Belarusian and Russian athletes are participating in the championships under the name Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN) due to sanctions imposed for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The IWF does not include medals won by weightlifters in the official medal count.
