The 2015 Masters was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 11 and 18 January 2015 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England. It was the 41st staging of the Masters tournament, which was first held in 1975, and the second of three Triple Crown events in the 2014–15 snooker season, following the 2014 UK Championship and preceding the 2015 World Snooker Championship. It was sponsored by online bettig site Dafabet.

Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured in 2015) won his first-round match against Ricky Walden and compiled with a fluke on the last yellow ball the 775th century break of his career, a record-equalling figure.
Mark Allen (pictured in 2015) took a 3–1 lead against Joe Perry and advanced into the semi-finals thanks to a 6–4 victory.
The Masters is a professional invitational snooker tournament. Held every year since 1975, it is the second-longest-running professional snooker tournament after the World Championship. It is one of the three Triple Crown events, along with the UK Championship and the World Championship. Although not a ranking event, it is regarded as one of the most prestigious tournaments on the World Snooker Tour. The reigning champion is Ronnie O'Sullivan, who won his eighth Masters title in 2024, defeating Ali Carter 10–7.
