The 2015 Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team represents the University of Cincinnati during the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bearcats play their home games at Marge Schott Stadium as a member of the American Athletic Conference. They are led by head coach Ty Neal, in his second season at Cincinnati.

In 2014, the Bearcats finished the season 10th in the American with a record of 22–31, 6–18 in conference play. They failed to qualify for the 2014 American Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament or the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.

The Bearcats opened their season with a four-game tournament in Starkville, Mississippi against Miami (OH) and Mississippi State. In the first game, the Bearcats defeated Miami (OH) 3–1, but they were swept in the next three games by a nationally ranked Mississippi State team. In their second series of the year, the Bearcats were swept in a three-game road series against Santa Clara.Ian Happ recorded ten hits over the three games.

Cincinnati was originally scheduled to compete in a tournament at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, from February 27–March 1, but inclement weather forced the Bearcats to schedule a three-game series against Iowa in Emerson, Georgia. Over the three game series, the Bearcats were again swept, marking their third straight weekend series sweep to open the season, and nine straight losses following a neutral site win over Miami (OH). The closest Cincinnati came to a win in the series was in the final game, in which the Bearcats allowed five runs in the thirteenth inning in the loss.
