The 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans () was an automobile endurance event on 14–15 June 2025 at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France. It was the 93rd running of the 24-hour race organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, and the fourth round in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship. British marque Aston Martin ran two modified Valkyries in the Le Mans Hypercar class, marking a return to the top class for the first time since 2011.
After achieving the fastest lap in the Hyperpole qualifying session, the 12 Cadillac V-Series.R run by Hertz Team Jota and driven by Will Stevens, Alex Lynn, and Norman Nato began from pole, the first American car to do so since 1967. The race was won by the privately entered No. 83 Ferrari 499P of AF Corse, driven by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson, the third consecutive victory for Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The LMP2 class was won by the No. 43 Inter Europol Competition Oreca 07 of Nick Yelloly, Jakub Śmiechowski and Tom Dillmann, the team's second victory in three years. Another consecutive victory went to the LMGT3 winners: Manthey's No. 92 Porsche 911 GT3, driven by Richard Lietz, with the addition of Ryan Hardwick and Riccardo Pera this year.
Background
The 2025 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held at the Circuit de la Sarthe near Le Mans, France, was the 93rd running of the event since its inception in 1923. The fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC), the race weekend ran from 11 to 15 June, with the race itself taking place on the 14th and 15th.

Phil Hanson, Robert Kubica, and Yifei Ye of the privateer No. 83 Ferrari, the eventual winners of the 2025 race, were third in the standings with 39 points.
