The 2014–2015 Israeli Basketball Super League, for sponsorships reasons known as Ligat Winner Basketball, was the 61st season of the Israeli Basketball Premier League. The season began on October 12, 2014 and ended on June 25, 2014.

The season marked the first time since 1993 that Maccabi Tel Aviv did not reach the Finals, and the third time they failed to finish in either the first or second place. The season was the first time in the league's history to not include a Tel Aviv based team in the first or second place.

Hapoel Jerusalem B.C. took the Israeli title, after it beat Hapoel Eilat in the Finals.

Barak Netanya has been relegated to Ligat Leumit due to financial difficulties, Making Maccabi Ashdod stay in the league although finishing last in the previous season.
Ironi Nahariya has been promoted to the league after winning Ligat Leumit last season.

Every team sent one foreigner and one Israeli for the respective team, with the remaining spots been selected by the League. Maccabi Tel Aviv have been abroad for a Euroleague game, therefore their players did not compete in the event.
