The 2015 Atlantic 10 Men's Soccer Tournament, known as the 2015 Atlantic 10 Men's Soccer Tournament Presented by Amtrak for sponsorship reasons, was the nineteenth edition of the tournament. It determined the Atlantic 10 Conference's automatic berth into the 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. Fordham entered the tournament as the defending champions.
