The 2015–16 Atlanta Hawks season was the 66th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the 48th in Atlanta.

In the off-season, the Hawks introduced a new logo and uniforms for the season.

In the regular season, the Hawks came 12 games short of tying their franchise-best 60–22 record from their previous season. They defeated the Boston Celtics in the opening round, but were swept in four games by the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the Semifinals, who had also swept them in last season's Eastern Conference Finals.
