The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards (Korean: 제61회 백상예술대상) ceremony was held at COEX, Seoul on May 5, 2025, at 20:00 (KST). It will be broadcast live simultaneously in South Korea on JTBC, JTBC2, JTBC4, Naver TV, CHZZK, and internationally on Prizm.

It is one of South Korea's most prestigious award shows, recognizing excellence in film, television, and theatre, through strict screening conducted by 60 professional evaluators, judges in the industry, and a group of experts. This year, the existing television category has been renamed to "Broadcasting" to reflect evolving content consumption trends. This change aligns with the shift from traditional cable or terrestrial television channels to a broader range of platforms, including websites and mobile streaming services.

The nominees were announced on April 7, 2025, via its official website. All works released from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, were eligible for nominations.

The highest honors of the night, Grand Prize (Daesang), were awarded to cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo of Harbin in the film division and entertainment program Culinary Class Wars in the broadcasting division. Uprising was the most winning films with three awards, while When Life Gives You Tangerines also had the most wins of four in the broadcasting division.
