The 2015–16 Indiana Pacers season was Indiana's 49th season as a franchise and 40th season in the NBA.

With a healthy Paul George returning to form, the Pacers clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Brooklyn Nets on April 10. The victory eliminated the Chicago Bulls from playoff contention. The Pacers finished the regular season with a record of 45–37, which would earn them the seventh seed in the East. They would be matched up against the second seeded Toronto Raptors in the first round but in the end would be eliminated in a decisive seven-game series.
