The 2025 Virginia House of Delegates election was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, to elect members of the 164th Virginia General Assembly. All 100 delegates are elected to two-year terms in single-member districts. Nomination primaries conducted by the Department of Elections were held June 17, 2025. Three incumbents, Democrats Delores McQuinn and Patrick Hope, and Republican Terry Austin, faced primary challengers, none of which were successful.
The House elections were held concurrently with the gubernatorial, lieutenant gubernatorial, and attorney general elections. The in-person early voting period ran from September 19 to November 1, 2025.
Democrats won in a landslide, gaining 13 seats, greatly expanding their majority in the House of Delegates, and gaining their largest majority since 1987. Don Scott was re-elected Speaker after the election. Notably, House Dean Bobby Orrock, first elected in 1989, was defeated in his attempt for a 19th term.
