Binibining Pilipinas 2015, the 52nd edition of Binibining Pilipinas, was held on March 15, 2015 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines. At the end of the pageant, 5 crowns were passed: Mary Jean Lastimosa (Miss Universe 2014 - Top 10 Finalist) crowned Pia Wurtzbach as Miss Universe Philippines 2015, Bianca Guidotti (Binibining Pilipinas International 2014) crowned Janicel Lubina as Binibining Pilipinas International 2015, Kris Tiffany Janson (Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd Runner-up) crowned Christi McGarry as Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015, Yvethe Marie Santiago (Miss Supranational 2014 - Top 20 Semi-Finalist) crowned Rogelie Catacutan as Binibining Pilipinas Supranataional 2015, and Parul Shah (Binibining Pilipinas Tourism 2014) crowned Ann Lorraine Colis as Binibining Pilipinas Tourism 2015.

A few months later, Colis was appointed by BPCI to represent the country in the upcoming Miss Globe pageant in Canada this year, thus earning the title as the first Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2015. Her predecessor when she was crowned as Binibining Pilipinas Tourism, Parul Shah was also appointed to represent the country in the Miss Grand International pageant in Thailand, prior to the acquisition of the local franchise. Shah earns the title as the first Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2015, despite the fact that a former Binibining Pilipinas candidate was the country's first representative to the pageant (Annalie Forbes).

Prior to the appointment of Colis, BPCI decided to discontinue the title of Binibining Pilipinas Tourism prior to the cancellation of the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant.

This pageant produced the third Miss Universe titlist for the Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, thus ending the 42-year drought for a Filipina Miss Universe.
