The 2015 Summit League women's basketball tournament was a post-season women's basketball tournament for The Summit League. The tournament took place March 7–10 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Top 8 teams in the final standings will qualify for the tournament. Omaha's transition into Division I basketball has deemed them ineligible from postseason play and instead of the top 8 teams qualify for the Summit League tournament it will be the 8 teams eligible for the tournament will play. South Dakota State defeated South Dakota to win the Summit League tournament title to receive an automatic bid into the 2015 NCAA tournament.
