The 2015 Tennessee State Tigers football team represented Tennessee State University in the 2015 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by sixth-year head coach Rod Reed and played their home games at Nissan Stadium and Hale Stadium. They were a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. They finished the season 4–6, 1–6 in OVC play to finish in eighth place.
The Tigers were initially ineligible to participate in post season play for the 2015 FCS season to due APR violations, but an appeal was issued by TSU Athletic Director Teresa Phillips, and the Tigers had the postseason ban lifted in early June due to the NCAA's miscalculation of the football program's APR based on outdated information the NCAA had used to determine the football program's APR. However, they failed to qualify for the FCS playoffs.
