She will also compete for Best Dance Act, Best Pop Artist and Song of the Year for 'Guess' featuring Billie Eilish.
Damian Christian, chair of the BRIT Committee for 2025, said: "Charli has had an undeniable year, taking her experimental brand of electronic and pop from underground raves to the heart of mainstream culture.
"Charli’s songwriting is distinctive, bold and relentlessly innovative, and, having been one of the UK’s leading songwriters for a number of years now, has taken her craft to new heights with her global phenomenon Brat. I’m delighted she has been recognised for this much deserved award."
The '360' singer previously missed out on trophies for Best Female and Best Pop Act.
