The 2015 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship was the 14th edition of the CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international age-restricted football tournament organised by CONCACAF to determine which men's under-23 national teams from the North, Central American and Caribbean region qualify for the Olympic football tournament. CONCACAF announced on 12 February 2015 that the United States would host the tournament between 1–13 October 2015. A total of eight teams played in the tournament.
The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics men's football tournament in Brazil as the CONCACAF representatives. The third-placed team advanced to the CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off where they played against the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship runner-up for the final berth in the Olympics.
Mexico won the tournament with a 2–0 final win over Honduras. This sealed Olympic qualification both finalists, with Mexico aiming to defend their gold medal in 2012, and Honduras qualifying for their third straight Olympics. Third-placed United States later lost to Colombia in the CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off and failed to qualify for the Olympics for the second consecutive time.
