The 2024–25 Q Tour was a series of snooker tournaments that took place during the 2024–25 snooker season. The Q Tour is the second-tier tour, run by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, for players not on the main World Snooker Tour.

A series of seven Q Tour Europe events were played, with the leading money-winner gaining a place on the main tour for the 2025–26 snooker season. Sixteen players – the tournament winners and the highest-ranked players who had not already secured a place on the main tour for the 2024–25 season – gained entry to a further event, the WPBSA Q Tour Global Play-Off. They were joined by players from the Q Tour Global; qualifying from regional Q Tour series. These players competed for a further three places on the World Snooker Tour. This season's tournament also saw the integration of CBSA China Tour into the Q Tour's playoff stage for its third-place finisher (as the first and second places directly qualified for the main tour); Luo Honghao was the first snooker player to qualify for the playoffs in such manner.

After returning from a 20-month ban for breaching match-fixing rules, former top-16 professional player Zhao Xintong won four Q Tour Europe events in a row, topping the rankings list and securing a professional tour card for the next two seasons. He made two maximum breaks while competing on the Q Tour, the first ever achieved at Q Tour events. Following the conclusion of the Q Tour, he qualified for and won the 2025 World Snooker Championship, securing professional status by ending the season at 11th place in the world rankings. The tour card Zhao had secured through the Q Tour was then awarded to Dylan Emery, who had finished second in the Q Tour Europe rankings and was thus the highest ranked eligible player.

Steven Hallworth, Liam Highfield and Florian Nüßle won their respective Q Tour playoffs to each secure their own two-year tour cards for the subsequent two seasons.
