The 2015 BYU Cougars men's volleyball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2015 NCAA Division I men's volleyball season. The Cougars, led by fourth year head coach Chris McGown, played their home games at Smith Fieldhouse. The Cougars were members of the MPSF and were picked to finish sixth in the preseason poll. The Cougars finished the season 14–8 in conference play, good for fifth in the conference. They were eliminated in the first round of the MPSF Playoffs and did not make the NCAA Tournament.

Season highlights BYU began the season looking to replace Taylor Sander, a three-time All-American who was BYU's best attacker, best passer, and best server. Sander led BYU to the Final Four twice and to 3-consecutive MPSF Championship matches. Josue Rivera, who was second on the team in kills in 2014, comes in a little dinged after having off-season shoulder surgery. 3 starters return from the 2014 team: Rivera, Michael Hatch, and Jaylen Reyes. These three are largely expected to make-up Sander's production along with some newcomers.
