The 1925 VFL seconds season was the 7th season of the VFL seconds competition, the Australian rules football competition operating as the second-tier competition to the Victorian Football League (VFL). This was the first season under this name, having been renamed from the Victorian Junior Football League (VJFL) at the end of the previous season.

Collingwood District won their fourth premiership, defeating Fitzroy by 24 points. The 18-round home-and-away season began on 2 May, with all teams having one bye.[1]

Footscray, Hawthorn and North Melbourne all joined the competition, having all also been admitted into the VFL as senior clubs. Coburg and Leopold left the competition, with the latter replaced by a South Melbourne reserves team (known as South Melbourne Second Eighteen).[2][3]
