The 2015–16 Lowland League was the third season of the Lowland Football League. Edinburgh City were the defending champions. Cumbernauld Colts were elected to the league as new members.
Threave Rovers were spared automatic relegation as neither champion of the two feeder leagues, Leith Athletic or St Cuthbert Wanderers, met licensing criteria. The club however, declined the opportunity to re-apply to the league and rejoined the South of Scotland Football League for the 2016–17 season.
