Route 25 is a highway in southeastern Missouri. Its northern terminus is at Business Interstate 55/U.S. Route 61/Route 34 in Jackson. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 412/Route 84 in Kennett.
Route 25 was one of the original 1922 state highways. Its original northern terminus was at Route 9 in Festus. In 1926, with the creation of the U.S. Highway system, Route 9 from St. Louis to Hermatite became part of U.S. Route 61, which was then routed down Route 25 to Jackson, moving Route 25's northern terminus to Jackson, too.
Until US 412 was designated across the southernmost section, "the Bootheel", of Missouri, supplanting this highway south and west of Kenett. Route 25 passed Senath and Arbyrd, taking a sharp westward turn and heading across the St. Francis River and the Arkansas border, feeding westward along the former Highway 25 (now US 412) toward Paragould, Arkansas.
