The 2015 BYU Cougars women's volleyball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2015 NCAA Division I women's volleyball season. The Cougars were led by first year head coach Heather Olmstead and played their home games at the Smith Fieldhouse. The Cougars were members of the WCC.

BYU came off a season where they won the WCC regular season championship, participated in the NCAA tournament, and became the first unseeded team to make it to the National Championship match.

Season highlights BYU won the 2015 Marcia E. Hamilton Classic title. Alexa Gray won WCC Player of the Week honors for games 8/30-9/6, 11/2-11/8, 11/9-11/15, and 11/16–11/22. Amy Boswell won WCC Player of the Week honors for games 9/14-9/20. On November 17 Alexa Gray was named the National Player of the Week for games 11/9-11/15. On November 19 Alexa Gray set the single season rally era kill record for BYU in the victory over Santa Clara. The record moved her into fifth all-time at BYU. On November 21 BYU clinched an NCAA Tournament berth with a sweep of San Francisco. The win clinched a share of the conference title with San Diego, but with BYU having won both head-to-head matches, they were given the conferences auto tourney bid.
