The 2014–15 Baltimore Blast season was the twenty-third season of the Baltimore Blast professional indoor soccer club. The Blast, an Eastern Division team in the Major Arena Soccer League, played their home games at Royal Farms Arena in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.

The team was led by owner Edwin F. Hale, Sr. and head coach Danny Kelly. The Blast finished the regular season with an 18–2 record, good enough for first place in the Eastern Division and the top seed in the Divisional Final. The team defeated the Rochester Lancers to win the Eastern Division and the Missouri Comets to win the Eastern Conference. They were beaten by the Monterrey Flash for the 2014–15 Ron Newman Cup. The MASL honored Pat Healey as league's Defender of the Year and William Vanzela as Goalkeeper of the Year.

Launched in July 1992 as the Baltimore Spirit, an expansion team in the second National Professional Soccer League for the 1992–93 season, the team replaced the original Baltimore Blast which folded earlier in 1992 when the first Major Indoor Soccer League shut down. Ed Hale, an owner of the original Blast, bought the Spirit in July 1998 and changed the name to Baltimore Blast. In 2001, the team was a founding member of the second MISL. When that league shut down in 2008, they co-founded the National Indoor Soccer League which, one season later, became the third MISL.
