California's 25th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California that currently covers most of northern Los Angeles County and part of eastern Ventura County. It includes the cities of Palmdale and Santa Clarita, most of Lancaster and Simi Valley, and part of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Porter Ranch in the San Fernando Valley. It is the most Republican congressional district located primarily within Los Angeles County.

The district is represented by Republican Mike Garcia, after his predecessor, Democrat Katie Hill, resigned November 3, 2019, over allegations of sexual misconduct with a staff member in violation of U.S. House personnel rules.[3] Garcia won the special election on May 12, 2020, against Christy Smith.[4] It is one of nine districts that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election while being held or won by a Republican.

Prior to redistricting in 2011, the district included Mono and Inyo counties as well as part of San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. Cities in the district included Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Barstow, and Bishop.
