The 2025 Garland mayoral election was held on May 3, 2025 to elect the next mayor of Garland, Texas.[1] Incumbent mayor Scott LeMay was term-limited and ineligible to run for re-election to a fourth consecutive term. Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the first round, the two highest-placing candidates advanced to a runoff election on June 7th. Municipal elections in Texas are officially nonpartisan.

Six candidates qualified for the first round, with former Garland city councilors Deborah Morris and Dylan Hedrick advancing to the runoff.[2] Hedrick won the runoff with 51.7% of the vote.[3]
