The 2025 Staffordshire County Council election took place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Staffordshire County Council in Staffordshire, England.[2] All 62 seats will be elected.[3] This was on the same day as other local elections.

In the previous 2021 election, the Conservatives won a majority of seats.[4] However following national trends, their share of the vote in the 2025 dropped dramatically. Reform UK secured an overall majority on the council, winning control from the Conservative Party.
