2025 Oxfordshire County Council election

The council had been under no overall control since 2013. Following the previous full council election in 2021, a coalition of the Liberal Democrats, Labour, and the Green Party formed to run the council, led by Liberal Democrat councillor Liz Leffman. Labour withdrew from the coalition in September 2023, after which the Liberal Democrats and Greens ran the council as a minority administration. The 2025 election was held under new ward boundaries. ==Previous council composition==
