Senate elections were held in Egypt between 4 and 5 August 2025, with Egyptian expatriates voting between 1 and 2 August. Run-offs took place on 27–28 August. Results were announced by the National Elections Authority (NEA) on 12 August 2025.

The election took place five years after the 2020 Egyptian Senate election, as required by the constitution. The Senate was re‑established following the 2019 Egyptian constitutional referendum, replacing the Shura Council which was abolished in 2014.

The poll was held amid economic challenges, including high inflation and currency devaluation, alongside continued restrictions on political opposition. Several opposition and independent groups alleged unequal campaigning conditions and chose not to field candidates.

President el-Sisi appointed 100 members in October 2025.
