The 2015–16 season was Birmingham City Football Club's 113th season in the English football league system and fifth consecutive season in the Football League Championship. It covered the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. Their Championship record, of 63 points accrued via 16 wins, 15 draws and 15 losses resulting in a tenth-place finish, was exactly the same as in 2014–15. Tenth was the lowest position the team had occupied all season. The average attendance at league matches, of 17,602, was some 9% higher than in 2014–15. As with all clubs in the top two tiers of English football, Birmingham entered the 2015–16 FA Cup in the third round; they lost in that round at home to Premier League club AFC Bournemouth. In the League Cup, they progressed through two rounds before being eliminated by Aston Villa, also of the Premier League, in the third.

Thirty-two players made at least one appearance in first-team competition, of whom six were loan signings and one was registered on a short-term contract; there were eighteen different goalscorers. Team captain Michael Morrison appeared in 49 of the club's 50 fixtures over the season, and played in every minute of the 46 Championship matches.Clayton Donaldson was top goalscorer with 11 goals, all of which were scored in league competition.

After narrowly avoiding relegation to League One in 2014, a poor start to the 2014–15 season with only two wins by mid-October brought manager Lee Clark the sack. Under caretaker management, the team lost 8–0 at home to AFC Bournemouth to drop to 23rd place in the table.Burton Albion manager and former Birmingham player Gary Rowett took over, strengthened the defence by bringing in Charlton Athletic's Michael Morrison, initially on loan, and, with the aid of other loan signings including Italian international forward Diego Fabbrini, led them to a 10th-place finish.
