The 2014–15 Süper Lig (known as the Spor Toto Süper Lig for sponsorship reasons) was the 57th season of the Süper Lig, the highest tier football league of Turkey.
The season was named after former Beşiktaş club president Süleyman Seba, who died in 2014.
Teams Elazığspor, Antalyaspor and Kayserispor were relegated at the end of the 2013–14 season after finishing in the bottom three places of the standings. Elazığspor was at top level for two years, while Antalyaspor and Kayserispor were relegated back to the second level after six and ten years, respectively. The relegated teams were replaced by 2013–14 TFF First League champions İstanbul Başakşehir, runners-up Balıkesirspor and play-off winners Mersin İdman Yurdu. They returned to the top division after 1, 38 and 1 years, respectively.
