The 2025 Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction election was a state-wide election held on April 1, 2025, to elect the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Wisconsin for a four-year term. The incumbent superintendent, Jill Underly, was elected to her second four-year term, defeating education consultant Brittany Kinser.

Although the election is technically nonpartisan, Underly received support from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and Kinser received support from the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Underly won the election with roughly 53% of the vote. Turnout was unusually high for a spring election in Wisconsin, driven by the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election on the same ballot.

Underly and Kinser advanced to the general election as the top two vote-getters in the February 18, 2025, nonpartisan primary. Sauk County superintendent Jeff Wright was eliminated in the primary.
