2015–16 Albanian Cup (Albanian: Kupa e Shqipërisë) is the sixty-four season of Albania's annual cup competition. KF Laçi are the most recent winners of the competition, that being their second Cup trophy.

Ties are played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregate score is tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advances. If the number of away goals is equal in both games, the match is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out, if necessary.

In order to reduce the number of participating teams for the First Round to 32, a preliminary tournament is played. In contrast to the main tournament, the preliminary tournament is held as a single-leg knock-out competition. Matches were played on 27 August 2015 and involved the teams from Albanian Second Division.

All 28 teams of the 2015–16 Superliga and First Division entered in this round along with the two qualifiers from the Preliminary Round. The first legs were played on 16 September 2015 and the second legs took place on 30 September 2015.Skënderbeu Korçë played their matches on 6 and 9 September due to commitments in UEFA Europa League.
