The 2015 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (also called Charlotte or UNC Charlotte) in the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It was the school's third overall season of NCAA football, their first season of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) play, and their first season as a member of Conference USA for football. The team was led by third-year head coach Brad Lambert and played its home games on campus at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. As part of their transition to FBS they were ineligible to participate in the College Football Playoff and bowl games, but could have qualified for the Conference USA Football Championship Game. They finished the season 2–10, 0–8 in C-USA play to finish in last place in the East Division.

Matt Wallerstedt joined the staff as defensive coordinator in January, replacing Bruce Tall, who left to become West Virginia's defensive line coach. Phil Ratliff, offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator for the team's first two seasons, passed away unexpectedly before the season started on August 8, 2015. Former Carolina Panther, Kevin Donnalley, who had been part of the conditioning staff and radio broadcast team, took over offensive line coaching duties.

The following recruits and transfers have signed letters of intent to the Charlotte 49ers football program for the 2015 recruiting year.
