The 1915 Boston Red Sox season was the 15th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished first in the American League (AL) with a record of 101 wins and 50 losses.

The team then faced the National League (NL) champion Philadelphia Phillies in the 1915 World Series, which the Red Sox won in five games to capture the franchise's third World Series. While the Red Sox' home field was Fenway Park, their two home games of the World Series were played at Braves Field,^[1] due to its larger seating capacity.^[2]
