The 2025 Interim Constitution of Syria, officially known as the Constitutional Declaration of the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic: الإعلان الدستوري للجمهورية العربية السورية), is a provisional constitution ratified by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. It establishes the basic law for a five-year transition period.

This occurrence followed the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship on 8 December 2024, which resulted from military offensives conducted in part by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, an Islamist insurgent organization, and supported by allied Turkish-backed groups in the Syrian National Army. This brought an end to over five decades of Assad family rule that began when Hafez al-Assad assumed power in 1971 under the Ba'ath Party following a coup d'état.

After the fall of the Assad regime, Hassan Abdel Ghani, spokesman for the Military Operations Command, announced the repeal of the 2012 Ba'athist Syrian constitution. Al-Sharaa then declared that he would issue a "constitutional declaration" as a legal framework until a new constitution was established. On 2 March 2025, he formed a committee to draft a new constitutional declaration to oversee the country's transition, and on 13 March, he signed the interim constitution, which will remain valid for five years.

The constitutional reform occurred amid ongoing instability, including threats of territorial fragmentation from pro-Assad remnants, Druze militias, and Israeli military invasion; sectarian tensions and massacres in Alawite-populated regions; and international sanctions maintained from the Syrian civil war.
