The 2015 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the third season of Junior WRC, a rallying championship governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship.
The championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested six nominated European events, out of seven rounds, with all of their scores counting towards their final championship position. The drivers competed in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts with the 2014 homologated MAX Kit, using Michelin tyres. The winner received a programme of six rallies in Europe in a Citroën DS3 R5, competing in the 2016 WRC2 Championship.
