The 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard was an international figure skating competition in the 2015–16 season. It is the fourth of six events in the 2015–16 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a series of senior-level invitational competitions.

Contents

The event was held in Bordeaux, France and was scheduled to take place on 13–15 November 2015. Medals were to be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Final results were also to be used to determine points toward qualifying for the 2015–16 Grand Prix Final.

The competition was cancelled after the first day following the November 2015 Paris attacks. The short programs and short dances had been completed on 13 November, but the free skatings and free dances were to be held on the second day.

On 23 November, the International Skating Union announced that the short program/short dance results would be considered as the final results for world standing/ranking points, prize money, as well as qualifiers for the Grand Prix Final.
