The .25 Short, also known as the .25 Bacon & Bliss, is a .25 in (6.35 mm) American rimfire handgun cartridge.

Introduced for the F. D. Bliss revolver in 1860,^[1] it was also available in a number of other inexpensive weapons of the period.^[1] It was never offered as a rifle caliber.^[1]

With a 43 gr (2.8 g; 0.098 oz) outside lubricated bullet over 5 gr (0.32 g; 0.011 oz) of black powder, it is similar in appearance to the .22 Short.^[1] Its power is comparable to the black powder loadings of the .22 Long Rifle.^[1] It was available from both Remington and Winchester.^[1]

The round continued to be commercially available until 1920, but is now considered a collectible.^[1]
