The 1925 Saskatchewan general election was held on June 2, 1925, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
The Liberal Party of Saskatchewan – under its new leader, Charles A. Dunning – won its sixth consecutive victory, and continued to dominate the legislature.
The Progressive Party of Saskatchewan increased its share of the vote from 7.5% to over 23%, but failed to add to its six member caucus.
The Conservative Party of James Anderson also increased its vote by over 14%, but only increased its representation in the legislature from two to three members.
The increase in the Progressive and Conservative vote came from voters who had supported independent candidates in the 1921 election.
