The 2025 Barcelona Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held between 30 May and 1 June 2025 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It was the fifth round of the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.

Championship leader and rookie Rafael Câmara took his fourth pole position in a season, becoming the first driver to do so. ^[1] However, a crash at the start between him and fellow rookie Tuukka Taponen saw him going pointless in the fourth sprint race of the season. In a race, that also saw championship runner-up Tim Tramnitz retiring after a collision at the start, would bring up a new race winner with Ivan Domingues. Santiago Ramos completed the maiden 1-2 finish for Van Amersfoort Racing in a Formula 3 race, with Nikola Tsolov settling for third place. ^[2] The next day, Câmara crossed the line to win his third feature race of the season, with Théophile Naël in the third Van Amersfoort car and Alessandro Giusti finishing second and third, respectively. Additionally, it was Giusti's maiden podium in FIA Formula 3. ^[3]

Following the conclusion of this round, Câmara extended his lead by 26 points over Tsolov, who overtook Tramnitz in the standings for second place, with Trident also extending its lead in their respective championship by 46 points over Campos Racing.
