Project 2025, or the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, is a paper that was published by the American conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation in 2023, with an aim to promote conservative and right-wing policies to reshape the federal government of the United States and consolidate executive power, so that the entire executive branch is under the complete control of the U.S. President. Including reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with people loyal to the president and, in doing so, infuse the government and society with conservative Christian values. It operates under the premise that Donald Trump will win tomorrow's US presidential election.

Donald Trump has denied he knew anything about the project, despite many of its contributors having strong links to his administration and campaign, and expected to be in his new administration, if elected. While Vice President candidate J.D. Vance wrote the foreword to a linked book by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts. Trump's statement about Project 2025 that "some of the things are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" saw Kevin Roberts say that they knew Trump was "making a political tactical decision there".
