The 2025 World Para Swimming Championships, known as the Toyota World Para Swimming Championships for sponsorship reasons were the 13th edition of the World Para Swimming Championships,[1] an international swimming competition and world championships for swimmers with disabilities. It was held in Singapore from 21 to 27 September 2025. This was the first time that an Asian country has hosted the World Para Swimming Championships.[2]

The event was organised by the Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) and took place at the 50m x 10 lane competition pool at the OCBC Aquatic Centre within the Singapore Sports Hub. The venue is home to Singapore Swimming Association and was the host venue for the aquatics discipline at the 28th Southeast Asian Games in 2015.[3]

Toyota Asia was the headline sponsor of the Championships for the first time.
