  Summary: This volume collects the papers accepted for publication at six workshops and the Doctoral Consortium associated with the 41st International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2025). The events took place in Rende, Italy, on September 9-13, 2025. There were 49 papers submitted for peer-review to the workshops and the Doctoral Consortium included in this volume. After a thorough review process, 40 papers were accepted for publication, 19 of which were presented at the workshops and 21 at the Doctoral Consortium. Of the 19 workshop papers presented at workshops, 8 were regular papers, 8 were short papers, and 3 were abstracts corresponding to invited talks. The Doctoral Consortium papers were all short papers.
