The 2025 Yukon general election was held on November 3, 2025, to elect members to the 36th Legislature of Yukon. A plebiscite on electoral reform was also held in conjunction with the general election.

Currie Dixon led the Yukon Party to a majority government for the first time since 2011, with the party winning 14 seats, the largest caucus for any party in Yukon history, as well as 51.9% of the vote, the party's best ever result and the first time any party won a majority of the vote since the adoption of a multi-party electoral system starting with the 1978 election. With 66.6% of the territorial legislature's seats, the Yukon Party had one of the largest percentage of MLAs in the legislature in Yukon's history, tied with the 2002 election, with only 1978's total (when 68.75% of the MLAs were part of the Yukon Party, then known as the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party) being slightly larger. Dixon also became the first Yukon-born premier of the territory. Kate White's New Democratic Party (NDP) won 6 seats and 37.8% of the vote, achieving its best result since 1996, the last time the party won government, and forming the official opposition. The incumbent Liberal Party, led by Mike Pemberton, recorded one of its worst results in party history, with Pemberton losing in his riding and the party coming in first in only one riding that was ordered for a mandatory recount due to the close result. Pemberton also became the first sitting Yukon premier to lose his riding despite not having been in the legislature at the time of his premiership.

Turnout for the election was 53.09%, the lowest in Yukon's history since the adoption of the modern election system in the territory in 1978. The election also resulted in more women being elected than men for the first time, with 11 out of the 21 elected MLAs being women, and a twelfth non-male MLA, Lane Tredger, being non-binary.
