The Hawthorn Football Club's 2015 season was its 91st season in the Australian Football League (AFL). Hawthorn entered the season as the two-time defending AFL Premiers.

The 2015 AFL season was the 119th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; having entered the competition in 1925, it was the 91st season contested by the Hawthorn Football Club. The Melbourne Cricket Ground once again acted as Hawthorn's primary home ground, hosting six of the club's eleven home games, with four games played at their secondary home ground, Aurora Stadium in Launceston, and one played at Etihad Stadium in Round 21. The four matches at Aurora Stadium were against the Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast Suns, Fremantle and the Brisbane Lions in rounds 3, 9, 15 and 22 respectively, while the one home game at Etihad Stadium was against Port Adelaide in Round 21. The club played Geelong, Essendon, Port Adelaide, Sydney and Carlton twice during the regular season, and travelled interstate five times (twice each to Sydney and Adelaide, and once to Perth).

Major sponsors Tasmania and iiNet continued as the club's two major sponsors, while Adidas continued to manufacture the club's on-and-off field apparel.

Alastair Clarkson continued as the club's head coach for the eleventh consecutive season, while Luke Hodge continued as the club's captain for the fifth consecutive season. Both have held their respective positions since 2005 and 2011, respectively.
