The 2025 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns softball team represented the University of Louisiana at Lafayette during the 2025 NCAA Division I softball season. The Ragin' Cajuns played their home games at Yvette Girouard Field at Lamson Park and were led by first-year head coach Alyson Habetz. They were members of the Sun Belt Conference.

Following the 2024 season, Cajuns' head coach Gerry Glasco left to take on the head coaching position at Texas Tech, ultimately leading the 2025 Red Raiders to a national championship series, losing to Texas in the final. Habetz made her return to the Ragin' Cajuns after serving 25 years as an assistant/associate coach for Alabama under legendary head coach Patrick Murphy, where she helped lead the Tide to six SEC regular season titles, five SEC Tournament titles, 14 Women's College World Series appearances, and a national championship title in 2012. Habetz is an alum of the Ragin' Cajun softball program, where she was a part of the 1993 team that led the Cajuns to their first Women's College World Series appearance.
