The 2025 FIA European Rally Championship was the 73rd season of the European Rally Championship, a European continental rallying series in rallying organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and WRC Promoter GmbH. The season was also the twelfth following the merge between the European Rally Championship and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.

Hayden Paddon and John Kennard were the reigning champions, having won their second European titles the previous season. They did not return to defend their titles as they focused on the Australian Rally Championship.

Mikołaj Marczyk and Szymon Gospodarczyk won their first European titles. Tymoteusz Abramowski and Jakub Wróbel won the ERC3 category, also finishing first in the Fiesta Rally3 Trophy. Calle Carlberg and Jørgen Eriksen won the ERC4 and Junior ERC categories. Martin Vlček won the Master ERC category. Team MRF Tyres claimed their third teams' championship title, while Pirelli finished first in the tyre suppliers' trophy.

The season was marred by the death of ERC Junior driver Matteo Doretto in a pre-event test prior to the 2025 Rally Poland.
