The Football League Second Division 1924/25 was the 29th season of the Football League Second Division as the second highest English football league . It began on August 30, 1924 and ended on May 2, 1925.

Second division champions Leicester City and also the second-placed Manchester United rose to the Football League First Division . For the two promoted players in the following second division season 1925/26, the two first division clubs Preston North End and Nottingham Forest ranked in the table below took the places.
