The 2015 Memphis mayoral election took place on October 8, 2015 to elect the Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee.

The election was officially nonpartisan, with all candidates running together, regardless of party. Due to the 1991 ruling of U.S. District Judge Jerome Turner, there is no runoff allowed in citywide elections.

Incumbent Democratic Mayor A C Wharton ran for re-election to a second full term in office.[1][2] He conceded to Jim Strickland, who won with 41.55% of the city's vote.[3]
