The 1925–26 English football season was Aston Villa's 34th season in The Football League.

This was George Ramsay's last season and he retired in April 1926[1] His trophy haul of six League Championships and six FA Cups established Aston Villa as the most successful club in England. He has been described as the world's first paid football manager.[2] To this day, Ramsay remains one of the most successful managers in the history of English football.

In the opening match of the season Villa beat Burnley 10–0 with goals by Len Capewell (5), George Stephenson, Billy Walker (3) and Dicky York.[3] Dicky York hit 20 goals in 44 appearances in 1925–26.[4] In the Second City derby Villa could only manage a draw at home [5] before losing to Birmingham away.[6]

There were debuts for Reg Chester and Fred Norris.[7] Chester would make 97 appearances in ten years at Villa. Norris made nine Football League appearances at Aston Villa, scoring twice.[8]
