Local elections were held in Cebu City on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. Registered voters of the city elected a mayor, a vice mayor, district representatives, and councilors. Both the mayor and the vice mayor are elected via a first-past-the-post electoral system. On the other hand, the legislative branches include the two district representatives of Cebu City, electing one district representative with 8 councilors. The officials elected will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year term.

Cebu City councilor and minority leader Nestor Archival won the election, garnering 256,197 votes, defeating incumbent mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, former mayor Mike Rama, and two other candidates. Rama has served as a mayor for over 9 years, having been first elected into the position in 2010 to 2016, and served again in 2021 after the death of mayor Edgar Labella.

For Cebu City's House of Representatives election, in the first district, incumbent congresswoman Rachel Del Mar (NPC) was re-elected for a second term, defeating three other congressional candidates. On the other hand, in the second district, incumbent Eduardo Rama Jr. (Lakas–CMD) defeated BOPK-Independent candidate Rodrigo Abellanosa, winning another second term.
