General elections were held in Dominica in July 1925. They were the first after the reintroduction of elected members to the Legislative Council for the first time since 1898.
Electoral system
The reformed Legislative Council had 13 members, with the Administrator as President, six 'official' members (civil servants), four elected members and two appointed members. Candidacy for the elected seats was limited to people with an annual income of at least £200 or owning property valued at £500 or more.
Results
All four elected members were black.
| Constituency | Elected member |

| Roseau | Cecil Rawle |
| St George, St Paul, St Luke and St Mark | Sydney Green |
| St Joseph, St Peter, St John and St Andrew | Howell Donald Shillingford |
| St Patrick and St David | Alexander Arthur Baron |
