The 2015–16 South West Peninsula League season was the ninth in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.
The constitution was announced on 15 May 2015. With regard to relegation from Division One East and Division One West, if only one club were eligible for promotion from these two divisions, then no club would be relegated, but if two clubs were eligible, then one club would be relegated and a playoff match would determine the relegated club. In the event, Okehampton Argyle accepted relegation without participating in a playoff.
The Premier Division featured 20 teams, the same as the previous season, after Bovey Tracey were relegated to Division One East, and Elmore resigned mid-season. Two new clubs joined the league:
