The 2025 Philippine House of Representatives elections in the Ilocos Region were held on May 12, 2025, to elect twelve members of the House of Representatives from the four provinces of the Ilocos Region. The elections coincided with the national Senate election, other elections to the House, and local races as part of the 2025 midterm elections in the Philippines.
Political parties belonging to Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, the electoral alliance formed to support the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, won every district in the Ilocos Region. It is a stronghold for Marcos, who belongs to one of the most prominent Ilocano political families. In the 2022 Philippine presidential election, he won 84.7% of the popular vote, his second-highest total across the regions of the Philippines.
Lakas-CMD, the largest party in the House and the region by the end of the 19th Congress, won the most seats, securing both districts of La Union and four of Pangasinan's six districts. The Nationalist People's Coalition won three, dominating Ilocos Sur, while the Nacionalistas took two. The ruling party, Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, secured one seat in Ilocos Norte.

The first district covers the northern portions of Ilocos Sur, including the capital city of Vigan. Incumbent Ronald Singson returned to the House in 2022, winning a fourth non-consecutive term with 57.5% of the vote. He is a member of the locally powerful Singson family.
Singson's sole opponent was Charles Savellano, an unaffiliated farmer. [8] He listed the initials "DB" as his name that would be printed on the ballot - similar initials to those of the late former representative Deogracias Victor Savellano, whom Singson had defeated in the 2022 elections. Following a petition by Singson, Savellano was declared a nuisance candidate by the Commission on Elections' First Division on December 12, 2024. [9]
However, due to a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court on January 14, 2025, Savellano was still included in the ballot. [10] Nevertheless, Singson won a second term with 92.4% of the vote, defeating Savellano. [2]
