The 2025 New Jersey General Assembly election will be held on November 4, 2025. New Jersey voters will elect two Assembly members in all of the state's legislative districts for a two-year term to the New Jersey General Assembly. Democrats have held a majority in the chamber since 2002, and further expanded their majority in 2023 by 6 seats. Primary elections took place on June 10, 2025.

The June primary is the first election to be held since a new ballot law went into effect. The new law is intended to replace the "county line" ballot design, which gave favorable ballot placement to party-endorsed primary candidates and which was declared unconstitutional by a federal court in 2024. While the elimination of the "county line" resulted in a highly competitive Democratic primary in the 32nd District, in other districts, party-endorsed Democratic and Republican candidates still prevailed. In the 9th and 10th Districts, the Democratic primary resulted in a split between party-endorsed and insurgent candidates.
