The 1915 Maine Black Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of Maine during the 1915 college football season. The team compiled a 6–3 record. Charles Ruffner was the team captain.[1]

In March 1915, Tommy Hughitt was hired as Maine's head football coach.[2] Hughitt had been the quarterback of Fielding H. Yost's Michigan football teams from 1912 to 1914. Hughitt was credited with bringing Yost's system to Maine: "Hughitt showed the effectiveness of the Yost system of coaching by developing a bunch of green material, a team which staged a real 'comeback' after a bad start last year."[3]
