A mayoral election will be held on November 4, 2025, to elect the mayor of the U.S. city of Minneapolis. Incumbent DFL mayor Jacob Frey is running for re-election to a third term. If successful, he would be the the first Minneapolis mayor to win a third term since R. T. Rybak in 2009. Minneapolis mayoral elections use instant-runoff voting, also known as ranked-choice voting. All candidates appear on the same ballot and there is no primary election, nor is there a runoff. Minneapolis's twin city, Saint Paul, also held a mayoral election on the same day, using the same system.
Frey's campaign currently has one main challenger, DeWayne Davis, the lead minister at Plymouth Congregational Church.
