The 1915 South Australian Football League season was the 39th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia. This was the last season of the SAFL before the competition was suspended due to the escalation of World War I. The competition would resume after missing three seasons in 1919.
Sturt went on to record its 1st premiership after defeating the minor premiers Port Adelaide in the Challenge Grand Final under the Argus finals system.
