The 2025 Saint Louis Billikens men's soccer team represented Saint Louis University during the 2025 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The Billikens played in the Atlantic 10 Conference, and played their home matches at Hermann Stadium and were coached by Kevin Kalish, in his eighth season in charge.
The 2025 season was the Billikens' most successful season of the 21st century. The Billikens won the "conference double" by winning both the regular season and tournament championship for the first time since 2022. Additionally, the Billikens reached the College Cup (semifinals) of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1997 and for only the third time since their dynasty in the 1970s.
