The 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur is the 18th season of the fourth tier in the French football league system.

There were twelve teams promoted from Championnat de France amateur 2, while ten teams were relegated from the 2014–15 Championnat de France amateur. Two teams came from the 2014–15 Ligue 2 and 2014–15 Championnat National, which are AC Arles-Avignon and US Colomiers Football respectively. The original plan was to have CA Bastia, FC Istres and SAS Épinal also relegated from the Championnat National, but due to DNCG and/or FFF rulings, the following clubs were relegated to lower divisions: AC Arles-Avignon (demoted from Ligue 2),Vendée Poiré-sur-Vie Football (resigned to join CFA 2) and FC Istres (demoted to 6th level). Bastia and Épinal stayed in Championnat National.

Because of these vacancies, Hyères FC and Vendée Fontenay Foot remained in the CFA. Arles-Avignon was declared bankrupt in the middle of the season and subsequently relegated to the Mediterranean second tier or 7th tier overall. All results were invalidated and remaining games cancelled.

Outcomes below are provisional and subject to ratification by the FFF.

Lyon-Duchère, Pau, Concarneau and Quevilly-Rouen are promoted to National.
