Papyrus 25 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by P²⁵, is an early copy of the New Testament Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew, it contains only Matthew 18:32-34; 19:1-3.5-7.9-10. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the early 4th century (300-350 C.E).

The Greek text of this codex is unclassifiable because of the Diatessaric character of text (like Dura Parchment 24 (Uncial 0212). Aland did not place it in any of the Categories of New Testament manuscripts. The manuscript displays an independent text.

It is currently housed at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Inv. no. 16388) in Berlin.
