New York State Route 25C (NY 25C) was an east–west state highway on Long Island in New York in the United States. The route began in Queens at an intersection with NY 25 and paralleled NY 25B for just over 4 miles (6 km) before ending at a junction with NY 25B in western Nassau County. NY 25C was assigned in the 1930s and removed in 1970. Part of the route's former routing is still state-maintained as New York State Route 900F, an unsigned reference route.
NY 25C began at the intersection of Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike in the Queens neighborhood of Queens Village. Here, the route connected to NY 25, which entered from the west on Union Turnpike and left to the south on Springfield Boulevard. The route headed to the northeast along the southern edge of the Oakland Gardens neighborhood on the four-lane Union Turnpike, a road often recognized more by its name than by its designation. In its first few blocks, the road passed Alley Pond Park and connected to the Grand Central Parkway by way of an interchange. The route continued on, meeting the nearby Cross Island Parkway at another interchange before heading into the Glen Oaks portion of Queens.
