The 1915 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.

The men's championships were held at the 22nd Regiment Armory in New York City, New York, and they took place March 4. Women's championships were not officially held until 1927.[1][2]

The Irish American Athletic Club led in scoring, though athletes representing Boston won two events at the start of the championships.[3]
