Wellington City mayoral election, 1925

Winner
  
Charles Norwood

The Wellington City mayoral election, 1925 was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year. In 1925, elections were held for the Mayor of Wellington plus other local government positions including fifteen councillors. The polling was conducted using the standard first-past-the-post electoral method.

Incumbent Mayor Robert Alexander Wright did not seek a third term, but ran as a councillor once again. To replace him, the Civic League initially nominated councillor Thomas Forsyth as their candidate for the mayoralty, but he withdrew in favour of former councillor Charles Norwood. Sitting councillor Charles Henry Chapman was the Labour Party's candidate.
