The 2015 BDO World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2015 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship) was the 38th World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation, and the 30th staging at the Lakeside Country Club at Frimley Green. 2014 BDO champion Stephen Bunting did not defend his title, as he switched to the rival PDC organisation at the start of the season. Scott Mitchell beat Martin Adams 7–6 in the final for his first world title.
For the first time since 1992 no player from the Netherlands reached the last 16.
