The 2015 VMI Keydets baseball team represented the Virginia Military Institute during the 2015 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Keydets returned to the Southern Conference after an eleven-year hiatus in the Big South from 2003 to 2014. VMI was led by first-year head coach Jonathan Hadra, who replaced longtime Keydet skipper Marlin Ikenberry. Ikenberry resigned following the 2014 season for a career in private business, and was the Keydets' all-time winningest baseball coach.

VMI lost two of its starting pitchers following the 2014 season. Senior left-hander Connor Bach graduated, and was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 21st round of the 2014 MLB Draft. Additionally, junior pitcher Reed Garrett was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 16th round, and chose to leave school early to pursue a career in baseball. Garrett played with the Spokane Indians, the Class A-Short season affiliate of the Rangers. The Keydets also graduated left fielder and backup catcher Eric Mayers, as well as relievers Berkley Hawkins, Campbell Henkel, and Travis Thomas.
