The 2015 Sydney Darts Masters was the third staging of the tournament by the Professional Darts Corporation, as a fourth entry in the 2015 World Series of Darts. The tournament featured 16 players (eight top PDC Players facing eight regional qualifiers) and was held at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia from 20–22 August 2015.

Phil Taylor was the defending champion after defeating Stephen Bunting 11–3 in the last year's final and he remained the only player to have won this event by claiming his third title with an 11–3 victory over Adrian Lewis.[1][2] He also hit the first ever nine-dart finish in a World Series of Darts match, when he hit one in his semi-final victory over Peter Wright, which was Taylor's last televised nine-dart finish in his career.[3]

The total prize fund was A$220,000.
