The 2025 Indianapolis 500 (branded as the 109th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge) is an IndyCar Series event scheduled to be held on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. The race will be part of the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season. The month of May activities will formally began with the IndyCar Grand Prix on the combined road course. The race will be broadcast on FOX for the first time in its history.

Josef Newgarden is the two-time defending race winner. Kyle Larson will attempt another "Double Duty" as he was unable to do so in 2024, as that year's Coca-Cola 600 was called for rain.[3][4][5] The 2025 race marks the first year of hybrid energy recovery system powertrains at Indianapolis. The new ERC powertrains were first introduced in the series in July 2024 at Mid-Ohio.[6]
