This is a list of earthquakes in 2025. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The year 2025 was an active and highly deadly year for earthquakes, with 16 major events and around 8,000 fatalities. The Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake was the first ≥M8 earthquake since 2021, and the sixth-largest instrumentally recorded earthquake since records began. The deadliest event of the year was a Mw 7.7–7.9 event in Myanmar, which caused unprecedented destruction in much of the country and killed at least 5,400 people, although the true death toll is believed to be significantly higher. This was followed by a Mw 6.0 event in Afghanistan in August that killed over 2,200 people, almost all of them in Kunar Province. Other notable and deadly earthquakes occurred in China, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Guatemala.
