The 2015 National Premier Leagues was the third season of the Australian National Premier Leagues football competition. The league competition was played amongst eight separate divisions, divided by FFA state and territory member federations. The divisions are ACT, NSW, Northern NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.

The winners of each respective divisional league competed in a finals playoff tournament at season end, with Blacktown City crowned as National Premier Leagues Champions, which gave them direct qualification for the 2016 FFA Cup Round of 32.{{cite web|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/article/cup-spot-the-reward-in-ps4-npl-finals-series/1jo74fgt8tt712gwfdap1ao3z|title=FFA Cup spot the reward in PS4 NPL Finals series|publisher=Football Federation Australia|date=15 September 2014}}
