The 2025 President of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil election took place on 1 February 2025, the opening day of the 3rd Session of the 57th Legislature of the National Congress. It resulted in the election of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, two vice presidents, the positions of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th secretaries and their respective replacements. They will hold a biennial term (2025–2027), making it possible to be re-elected in the next Legislature - as established in Article 5th of the Chamber Statute.[1]

The incumbent president, Arthur Lira, is not able to run for a third term. The election was carried out by secret ballot and electronic voting, requiring an absolute majority of votes, in the first ballot, and a simple majority, in the second ballot, with the absolute majority of the Deputies present - as established in Article 7th of the Chamber Statute.[1] The Chamber President is also the second in the Brazilian presidential line of succession.[2]
