The 2015 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series represented the fifth iteration of this competition and the fourteenth edition since the inception of the former Swiss Formula Renault Championship. The season commenced on 12 April at Imola and concluded on 11 October at Jerez, encompassing sixteen races across seven events. This year introduced a revised weekend structure featuring three races per meeting at the Red Bull Ring and Monza venues.

In a tightly contested finale, British racer Jack Aitken secured the drivers' championship by a margin of five points over his Koiranen GP teammate Jake Hughes. Entering the final round at Jerez trailing by five points, Aitken managed to finish third overall—behind non-points-eligible competitors Ben Barnicoat and Anthoine Hubert—while Hughes came in ninth, placing third among Alps contenders. Throughout the season, Aitken achieved four outright race wins in addition to three class victories. Hughes recorded three overall wins and one class win at the Pau event. The third spot in the standings was claimed by Thiago Vivacqua, who narrowly outpaced teammate Matevos Isaakyan by four points; Vivacqua earned a win at Monza, whereas Isaakyan secured two overall victories plus a class win.

Additional race victories were attained by Vasily Romanov of Cram Motorsport, who triumphed at Monza and ranked sixth in the final championship classification. Guest participants Hubert and Barnicoat also captured multiple wins, with Hubert winning four out of six starts representing Tech 1 Racing, and Barnicoat taking victory in the season's closing race for Fortec Motorsport. In the teams' standings, Koiranen GP dominated, finishing nearly 200 points ahead of JD Motorsport. Within the junior division (under 18), Isaakyan excelled with eleven wins, finishing 83 points clear of second-placed Philip Hamprecht.
