The 2014–15 season was the 118th season of competitive football by Heart of Midlothian and the first under new ownership following the club's exit from administration on 11 June 2014. It was the club's first season of play in the second tier of Scottish football since 1983 and their first season in the Scottish Championship, having been relegated from the Scottish Premiership at the end of the previous season.
