The 2015 Real Tennis British Open was the 37th edition of the British Open since it became an annual event in 1979. The men's event was held at the Queen's Club in London between November 15–24, 2015 and was organised by the Tennis and Rackets Association. The qualifying tournament was held on November 11–12 at Radley College. It was the final event in the qualifying series for the 2016 Real Tennis World Championship.[1][2][3] The women's event was held at the Seacourt Tennis Club on Hayling Island between April 8–12, 2015.[4] The men's draw was the fourth and final grand slam event of the year.

The men's singles draw was won by Steve Virgona, his second British Open title, having previously won the 2013 edition. It is Virgona's last Open singles victory of his career to date. He also won the doubles with Chris Chapman. It would be Chapman's only British Open doubles title. In the women's draw, Claire Fahey won her six consecutive British Open singles title, her only Open title of the year. She also won the doubles with her sister Sarah Vigrass.
