The 2025 Cambridgeshire County Council election took place as part of the 2025 local elections in the United Kingdom. All 61 councillors were elected from 59 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. The election was held alongside the election of a Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The council was under no overall control prior to the election. The election saw the Liberal Democrats win a majority of the seats on the council for the first time.
