The 2025 Adelaide Football Club season will be the Adelaide Crows' 35th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). Adelaide's women's team will play their tenth season in the AFLW, and their reserves team will play their eleventh season in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

In November 2024, Adelaide unveiled their new logo for the 2025 season. It features a swooping crow, reminiscent of the badge used by the club until 2010. Senior men's and women's teams adopted this logo. For the first time, the club's SANFL team will use the same logo as the senior sides. Slightly altered tri-colours also feature.[1]
