The 2025 Boys' EuroHockey U18 Championship was the 13th edition of the Boys' EuroHockey U18 Championship, the biennial international men's under-18 field hockey championship of Europe organized by the European Hockey Federation.

The tournament was held alongside the girls' tournament at Lille MHC in Lille, France from 13 to 19 July 2025.[1] Germany were the two-time defending champions.[2] They defended their title by defeating the hosts France 3–2 in a shoot-out after the final finished 1–1. It was a record-extending sixth title for Germany, while France won their first U18 Championship medal as they advanced from the preliminary round for the first time. Belgium won the bronze medal by defeating Spain 3–0 in a shoot-out after the match finished 1–1.
