Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1925. Wesley Hiltz was elected mayor defeating two prominent challengers.
Incumbent mayor Charles A. Maguire had chosen to retire prior to the election. Three high profile candidates attempted to succeed him. Tommy Church had served as mayor from 1915 to 1921, longer than any other person prior to him. Wesley Hiltz was chair of the Toronto Board of Education. Controller Joseph Singer had been nominated as a candidate for mayor but decided to withdraw in order not to split the anti-Tommy Church vote. Col. John Allister Currie was a leader of Canadian forces during the Boer War and a sitting Conservative Party MPP. Hiltz was victorious by a significant margin.
