The 2014–15 Dallas Mavericks season was the 35th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks finished fourth in the Southwest division and seventh in the Western conference with a 50–32 record. The Mavs' season ended with a 1–4 first round playoff series loss to the Houston Rockets.

The Mavericks acquired Rajon Rondo from the Boston Celtics in a mid-season trade. However, Rondo ran into problems with head coach Rick Carlisle including engaging in a shouting match with Carlisle after being benched. Rondo left the team at the end of the season.

Both second round picks the Mavericks had were traded one day prior to the draft to the New York Knicks along with José Calderón, Samuel Dalembert, Shane Larkin, and Wayne Ellington for Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton.

The Mavericks went into the offseason with six free agents. Being on the Mavs for his whole career, Dirk Nowitzki agreed to a new three-year contract on July 4. One day later, Devin Harris accepted a new four-year deal with the Mavs.

On July 10, the Mavs submitted a three-year, $46 million offer sheet signed by restricted free agent Chandler Parsons to the Houston Rockets. Three days later, the Rockets announced they would not match the offer, leaving Parsons to play in Dallas.

Richard Jefferson agreed to a one-year minimum contract on July 13.

On July 14, Greg Smith came to the Mavs through a trade with the Chicago Bulls for the rights to Tadija Dragićević.
