The 2025 Australian Greens leadership election was held on 15 May 2025 to elect the leader of the Australian Greens.

Larissa Waters was elected unopposed to replace Adam Bandt, who resigned the leadership after losing his seat of Melbourne at the 2025 federal election. Mehreen Faruqi was re-elected deputy leader after defeating Dorinda Cox nine votes to three.

The Greens hold an automatic leadership election following every federal election. The leadership is decided by consensus within the party room (or a party room vote if consensus cannot be reached), and all previous Greens leaders have been elected unopposed.
