The 2024–25 Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team represented the University of Tennessee in the 2024–25 college basketball season. Led by head coach Kim Caldwell in her first year, the team played their games at Thompson–Boling Arena as members of the Southeastern Conference.
On December 14, the 19th-ranked Lady Vols set an NCAA record for the most three-point field goals made in a game. The team was 30-for-63 in three-pointers, becoming the first NCAA team, men's or women's, to reach that mark. The Lady Vols won the game against North Carolina Central University, 139–59.
Coach Caldwell had to miss coaching the Texas game, following her giving birth to her son, three days prior, on January 20. Assistant coach Jenna Burdette led the team for the game. Caldwell returned courtside to coach the South Carolina game on January 27.
The Lady Vols finished the season with a 24–10 overall record, 8–8 in the conference. In the postseason, they lost in the second round of the SEC tournament to in-state rival Vanderbilt.
