The 2015 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament involved 64 teams playing in a single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division II college basketball. It began on March 13, 2015, following the 2014–15 season and concluded with the championship game on March 28, 2015.
The eight regional winners met in the Elite Eight for the quarterfinal, semifinal, and championship rounds. For the second straight year, the final rounds were held at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.
Florida Southern defeated Indiana (PA), 77–62, to win their second national championship and first title since the 1981 NCAA Division II Tournament.
The champions of 22 of the 24 Division II basketball conferences qualified automatically. An additional 42 teams were selected as “at-large” participants by the selection committee. The first three rounds of the tournament were organized in regions comprising eight participants in groups of two or three conferences (two in the Atlantic and Midwest regions). The regionals were hosted at the home court of the top seeded team.
The following teams automatically qualified for the national tournament as the champions of their conference tournaments.
