The 2024–25 Aston Villa W.F.C. season was the club's 29th season under their Aston Villa affiliation, the organisation's 51st overall season in existence, and their fifth season in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
Following Carla Ward's departure at the end of the previous season, Aston Villa appointed Robert de Pauw as their new manager on 29 June 2024. He had most recently been manager of Bayer Leverkusen before agreeing to mutually part ways in May 2024. On 11 December 2024, it was announced that de Pauw had left the club with immediate effect after 11 games in charge. Assistant first team coach Shaun Goater was named interim manager. On 22 January 2025, Natalia Arroyo was announced as the new permanent manager. She last coached Real Sociedad, ending her four-year managerial tenure at the conclusion of the previous season.
On 19 July 2024, the club announced that all WSL home matches would be played at Villa Park. Bescot Stadium continued to host cup matches.
