The 2015 Chicago aldermanic elections happened on February 24, 2015, to elect the 50 Aldermen that represent Chicago in the City Council. The elections were non-partisan and if no candidate received an absolute majority, a runoff would be held between the top two finishers on April 7, 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagoelections.com/dm/general/document_595.pdf|title=2015 ELECTION INFORMATION PAMPHLET & CALENDAR|work=ChicagoElections.com|date=July 29, 2014|access-date=September 17, 2014|archive-date=October 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030191015/http://www.chicagoelections.com/dm/general/document_595.pdf|url-status=dead}}

43 incumbent aldermen sought re-election. Aldermen Edward M. Burke (14th Ward), Marty Quinn (13th Ward), Brendan Reilly (42nd Ward) and Harry Osterman (48th Ward) all ran unopposed in this election.{{Cite web|url=https://chicago.legistar.com/People.aspx|title = Office of the City Clerk - Council Members}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Aldermanic-Races-Getting-Crowded-for-2015-280797732.html|title = Aldermanic Races Getting Crowded for 2015}} Aldermen Toni Foulkes (15th Ward) and Nicholas Sposato (36th Ward) ran in different wards than those they had been incumbents of: the 16th and 38th, respectively.{{cite web |url=http://app.chicagoelections.com/documents/general/M2015-CandidateFiling-2014-11-17-1415.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-12-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204150503/http://app.chicagoelections.com/documents/general/M2015-CandidateFiling-2014-11-17-1415.pdf |archive-date=2014-12-04 }} Incumbent aldermen Robert Fioretti (2nd Ward), James Balcer (11th Ward), Latasha Thomas (17th Ward) and Timothy Cullerton (38th Ward) did not run for re-election.
