The 2025 Turkish Cup final was the decisive match of the 2024–25 Turkish Cup, the 63rd edition of Turkey's primary football cup competition organized by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). The final was played on 14 May 2025 at Gaziantep Stadium, and featured Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.

On 16 April 2025, the match was initially announced to be held at the New Eskişehir Stadium in Eskişehir.[2] However, following objections from the city's governor, the TFF reversed the decision.[3] On 25 April 2025, the TFF announced that the match would be played at Gaziantep Stadium.[4]

The winner of the match secured a place in the play-off round of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League play-off round and also qualified for the 2025 Turkish Super Cup.
