The 2015 Ricoh Women's British Open was played 30 July – 2 August at the Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire, Scotland. It was the 40th Women's British Open, and the 15th as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. It was the second Women's British Open at Turnberry, which previously hosted 13 years earlier in 2002. As was the case in 2002, the 3rd and 14th holes, usually par-4 holes, are played as par-5 holes during this event. ESPN2 and BBC Sport televised the event in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Inbee Park shot a final found 65 (−7) to win her first Women's British Open, three strokes ahead of compatriot Ko Jin-young, the 54-hole co-leader. It was Park's seventh major title and second of the season.
