The 2015 Extremaduran regional election was held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 9th Assembly of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura. All 65 seats in the Assembly were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in 12 other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

The 65 members of the Assembly of Extremadura were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 5% of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Alternatively, parties failing to reach the threshold in one of the constituencies would also be entitled to enter the seat distribution as long as they ran candidates in both districts and reached 5% regionally. Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Badajoz and Cáceres. Each constituency was entitled to an initial minimum of 20 seats, with the remaining 25 allocated among the constituencies in proportion to their populations. Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, possessing the Extremaduran citizenship and in the full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. Additionally, Spaniards abroad were required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "requested" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).
