Miss Universe 2025 was the 74th Miss Universe pageant, held at the Impact Challenger Hall in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, Thailand, on 21 November 2025. At the end of the event, Victoria Kjær Theilvig of Denmark crowned Fátima Bosch of Mexico as her successor, marking the country's fourth title in the pageant.

The pageant was hosted by American stand-up comedian and actor Steve Byrne, with Miss Universe 1993, Dayanara Torres and Miss Universe 2022, R'Bonney Gabriel serving as commentary hosts. Held during the one-year mourning period after the death of Sirikit, the former queen consort of Thailand, some of the contest's events were modified in accordance to government recommendations.

Leading up to the coronation night, the pageant attracted controversies involving the conduct of Thai pageant organizer, Nawat Itsaragrisil, in pageant events as well as legal disputes with the licensee Miss Universe Thailand. A number of judges exited the panel before the finals, including Omar Harfouch, who criticized the selection of the semifinalists and the eventual outcome.
