2014–15 Pac-12 Conference Men's Basketball Season

The 2014–15 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2014 and ended with the 2015 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball tournament in March 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The regular season began on the first weekend of November 2014, with the conference schedule starting in December 2014.

This was the fourth season under the Pac-12 Conference name and the 56th since the conference was established under its current charter as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959. Including the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, which operated from 1915 to 1959 and is considered by the Pac-12 as a part of its own history, this is the Pac-12's 100th season of men's basketball.
