The 1925 Georgetown Blue and Gray football team was an American football team that represented Georgetown University as an independent during the 1925 college football season. In its second team under head coach Lou Little, the team compiled a 9–1 record, shut out seven of ten opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 281 to 19.

Fullback Tony Plansky was selected by the All-America Board and Collier's Weekly as a third-team player on the 1925 All-America team.[1][2] Plansky was also a collegiate decathlon champion. Yale coach Tad Jones, who chose Plansky for the first team, said: "Plansky possesses everything that a fullback or a football player needs. Unusually fast, a fine kicker and passer, Plansky hits into the line with complete abandon and rounds out his game with defensive strength of the highest order."[3] He also received honors on the 1925 All-Eastern football team.

The team played its home games at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D. C.
