The 1925 Brisbane City Council election was held on 21 February to elect the Lord Mayor and councillors for each of the 20 wards of the City of Brisbane. The election was the first for the City of Brisbane, which had been created from the amalgamation of 20 local governments the previous year.

The new council was composed of 21 Aldermen, 20 elected from single member wards that aligned with state electoral district boundaries within the city, and the Lord Mayor who was elected by the city as one electorate. All persons who were on the state electoral roll at an address within the city boundaries were electors for the City Council.
