The 2025 NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championships was the 94th annual NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championship that took place from March 20–22, 2025 in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center (since renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena).

Penn State won their 13th national team title and their 12th under head coach Cael Sanderson after becoming the second team in NCAA Division I history to have 10 All-Americans in a single tournament. The Nittany Lions also broke their 2024 tournament record for most amount of points scored in a single tournament with 177.0 points.

Penn State, Nebraska, and Oklahoma State all had two wrestlers win individual championships with Penn State's Mitchell Mesenbrink and Carter Starocci, Nebraska's Ridge Lovett and Antrell Taylor, and Oklahoma State's Dean Hamiti Jr. and Wyatt Hendrickson all winning titles. Starocci became the first five-time NCAA Division I champion. Nebraska finished in a program-best second place, getting their first champion since 2011 and having two national champions for the first time since 1984.
