The 2015 CAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was the 4th edition of the CAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international football competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to determine which women's national teams from Africa qualify for the Olympic football tournament.

The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament in Brazil as the CAF representatives.

South Africa qualified for the second Olympics in a row, while Zimbabwe qualified for the first time.

A total of 18 CAF member national teams entered the qualifying rounds.

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, extra time would be played. The away goals rule would again be applied after extra time, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.

The two winners of the fourth round qualified for the Olympic football tournament.

The schedule of the qualifying rounds was as follows.
