The 2025 Thai Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) election was a local election held in Thailand on 1 February 2025 to elect 47 of 76 chief executives and 2,316 council members of the PAO in 76 provinces. The Pheu Thai party’s directly-endorsed and affiliated candidates won the most chief executive seats.

This is the fifth PAO election, excluding by-elections for chief executives, since the amendment of the PAO Act (third edition) in 2003 to allow direct elections for PAO chief executives. Prior to the amendment, chief executives were chosen by council members.

Many chief executive candidates were incumbents. Out of the 76 provinces, 12 chief executives have held the position for over 20 years.
