The 2015 Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix was the eleventh round of the 2015 MotoGP season. It was held at the Brno Circuit in Brno on 16 August 2015.{{cite news|title=2015 provisional MotoGP calendar announced|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2014/09/26/2015-provisional-motogp-calendar-announced/165181|date=26 September 2014|access-date=15 August 2015|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports}}

In the premier class, Jorge Lorenzo took his second pole position of the season and ultimately his fifth win of the season, ahead of Marc Márquez and Valentino Rossi. Andrea Iannone finished fourth, while fifth place was contested by Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa, with Pedrosa ultimately coming out on top by 0.075 seconds. Cal Crutchlow, Maverick Viñales, Alex de Angelis, and Eugene Laverty all crashed out of the race before the halfway mark. With these results, Lorenzo's win gave him the championship lead over Rossi, by virtue of more wins at that point.{{cite news|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/222030/1/lorenzo-rossi-title-battle-starts-from-zero.html|title=Lorenzo, Rossi MotoGP title battle 'starts from zero'|date=16 August 2015|access-date=31 December 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304085202/http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/222030/1/lorenzo-rossi-title-battle-starts-from-zero.html|url-status=dead}}

In the junior classes, Moto2 championship leader Johann Zarco extended his lead in the championship, winning ahead of Tito Rabat and Álex Rins. In a restarted Moto3 race, Gresini Racing rider Niccolò Antonelli took his first victory ahead of Enea Bastianini and Brad Binder, with the top nine riders being split by 1.42 seconds at the finish.{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/08/16/antonelli-claims-maiden-moto3-victory/182052|title=Antonelli claims maiden Moto3 victory|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=16 August 2015|access-date=31 December 2015}}{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/08/16/antonelli-i-didn-t-expect-the-victory/182066|title=Antonelli: "I didn't expect the victory"|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=16 August 2015|access-date=31 December 2015}}
