The 2015–16 season was FC Porto's 106th competitive season and the 82nd consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. It started on 15 August 2015 and concluded on 22 May 2016. For the second consecutive season, Porto failed to win any of the official competitions it was involved. The last time the team had two successive trophyless seasons was from 1979–80 to 1980–81.

As in the previous season, Porto did not begin their campaign by playing the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, as they failed to qualify for the 2015 edition by not winning the 2014–15 Primeira Liga title (retained by Benfica) or the 2014–15 Taça de Portugal (won by Sporting CP). Their 2015–16 Primeira Liga debut match was a 3–0 home win against Vitória de Guimarães, with Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar scoring the team's first official goal. Porto finished the league in third place with 73 points, 15 points behind three-time champions Benfica and 13 points behind runners-up Sporting CP, thus failing to win the title for the third successive season, which had not happened since the 2001–02 season.

Besides the league, Porto competed in other domestic competitions. In the 2015–16 Taça de Portugal, they reach the final, five years after their last appearance, but were defeated 5–4 on penalties by Braga, after a 2–2 draw at the end of extra time. The team also participated in the 2015–16 Taça da Liga, but were eliminated in the starting round after finishing last in their third-round group, with three defeats.
