The 2015 Hertsmere Borough Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of Hertsmere Borough Council in Hertfordshire, England.[1][2] This was on the same day as the 2015 general election and other local elections.

From this election, Hertsmere Borough Council moved from a one-third election cycle to a full council election cycle, with all members being elected every four years (the next election was held in 2019). Because of this, all seats were up for election, although the ward boundaries and total number of seats remained the same.
