The 2015–16 Atlanta Hawks season was the 66th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the 48th in Atlanta.
In the off-season, the Hawks introduced a new logo and uniforms for the season.
In the regular season, the Hawks came 12 games short of tying their franchise-best 60–22 record from their previous season. They defeated the Boston Celtics in the opening round, but were swept in four games by the LeBron James-led and eventual NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers in the Semifinals, who had also swept them in last season's Eastern Conference Finals as well as the 2009 Eastern Conference Semi Finals.
Also, this season was the end of the Al Horford era in Atlanta, as he joined the Celtics during the following offseason.
