The 2025 ARCA Menards Series East was the 39th season of the ARCA Menards Series East, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began on March 22 with the Pensacola 150 at Five Flags Speedway and ended on September 11 with the Bush's Beans 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
2023 and 2024 champion William Sawalich did not return to the East Series full-time in 2025 and go for a three peat as he moved up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series full-time.
At the conclusion of the season, Isaac Kitzmiller of ACR Motorsports won the championship.
Note: If a driver is listed as their own crew chief for a particular race, that means that their entry in that race was a start and park.

Notes:
- The pole winner also receives one bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.
- Additionally, after groups of five races of the season, drivers that compete in all five races receive fifty additional points. This points bonus will be given after the race at Dover.
- Isaac Kitzmiller, Tyler Reif, Zachary Tinkle, Takuma Koga, Austin Vaughn, and Brad Smith received this points bonus for having competed in the first five races of the season (Five Flags, Rockingham, Nashville Fairgrounds, Flat Rock, and Dover).
