The 2025 Western Australian state election is scheduled to be held on 8 March 2025 to elect members to the Parliament of Western Australia, where all 59 seats in the Legislative Assembly and all 37 seats in the Legislative Council will be up for election.

The Labor government, currently led by Premier Roger Cook, will attempt to win a third consecutive four-year term against the National–Liberal opposition, currently led by Shane Love and Libby Mettam respectively.[3]

Candidates will be elected to single-member seats in the Legislative Assembly via full-preferential instant-runoff voting. In the Legislative Council, 37 candidates are elected across the state, which functions as a single electorate. Amendments made to electoral law have increased the size of the Legislative Council by one member at this election, while abolishing the previous system of six regions of unequal population that each elected six members.
