The 2025 NBA draft was the 79th edition of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) annual draft. Like the 2024 draft, this draft took place over two nights. The draft consisted of 59 picks as opposed to the full 60 due to the New York Knicks forfeiting a second-round pick from a free agency violation in 2022.

The first round of the draft took place on June 25, while the second took place on June 26. Both rounds were held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The time between second-round picks remained four minutes, a change that was made from the previous year's draft.

The Dallas Mavericks took power forward Cooper Flagg out of Duke University as the first overall selection. The Mavericks won the draft lottery with only a 1.8% chance and previously winning a coin toss for a higher placement in draft total odds over the Chicago Bulls, who finished the season with the same record as the Mavericks.

These players were not selected in the 2025 NBA draft, but have played at least one regular-season or playoff game in the NBA.

Prior to the draft, the following trades were made and resulted in exchanges of draft picks between teams:

Post-draft trades are made after the draft begins. These trades are usually not confirmed until the next day or after free agency officially begins.

The 11th G League Elite Camp took place on May 9–11, from which certain participants were selected to join the main draft combine.

The primary portion of the 2025 NBA draft combine was held from May 11–18 in Chicago, Illinois.
