The 2015 Coppa Italia Final decided the winner of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia, the 67th season of Italy's main football cup. It was played on 20 May 2015 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, between Juventus and Lazio. Juventus emerged victorious with a 2–1 win in extra time for a record tenth title.
As Juventus won the 2014–15 Serie A, Lazio qualify automatically as the cup representative in the 2015 Supercoppa Italiana.
Juventus played a 15th final, second only to Roma's 17. They had won nine, a joint record with Roma. Their most recent final was in 2012, losing 0–2 to Napoli, and their last victory was in 1995, defeating Parma 3–0 on aggregate. It was Lazio's eighth, of which they had won six, most recently a 1–0 win in 2013 against Roma. Juventus and Lazio contested the 2004 final, which Lazio won 4–2 on aggregate.
Juventus, of Serie A, began the competition in the last 16, hosting fellow top-flight team Hellas Verona at Juventus Stadium on 15 January 2015. Sebastian Giovinco scored twice in addition to Roberto Pereyra's first Juventus goal for a 3–0 lead at half time. After Paul Pogba extended Juventus' lead, Nenê netted a consolation for Verona. Rafael Márquez fouled Giovinco for a penalty which Álvaro Morata converted, and 18-year-old substitute Kingsley Coman scored his first Juventus goal to conclude a 6–1 victory.
