The 2015 Copa do Brasil (officially the 2015 Copa Sadia do Brasil for sponsorship reasons)[3] was the 27th edition of the Copa do Brasil football competition. The competition was contested by 87 teams, which qualified either by participating in their respective state championships (71), by the CBF Rankings (10), by qualifying for the 2015 Copa Libertadores (5) or having the best 2014 Série A record (excluding those qualified for 2015 Copa Libertadores). The latter 6 clubs entered the competition in the 4th stage. The best six teams of the 2014 Brazilian Championship eliminated until the third round qualified for the 2015 Copa Sudamericana.

The competition was won by Palmeiras, which earned their third title by defeating fellow São Paulo club Santos in a penalty shootout.
