Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1915. Tommy Church was elected mayor defeating Jesse O. McCarthy.

Incumbent mayor H.C. Hocken chose not to run for re-election. Two prominent members of the Board of Control ran to replace him: Tommy Church and Jesse O. McCarthy, with Church the victor. As with most races of the period, it was also a contest between the two newspapers with the Toronto Daily Star supporting McCarthy and the Toronto Telegram supporting Church.
