The 1915 Oregon Agricultural Aggies football team represented Oregon Agricultural College (OAC)—now known as Oregon State University—as a member of the Northwest Conference during the 1915 college football season. In their third and final season under head coach E. J. Stewart, the Aggies compiled an overall record of 5–3 with a mark of 2–2 in conference play, placing fourth Northwest Conference, and were outscored by their opponents by a total of 166 to 73.

Oregon Agricultural's upset victory over Michigan Agricultural on October 30 was notable because the previous week Michigan Agricultural shut out the unbeaten Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The college played home games at Bell Field in Corvallis, Oregon. Brewer Billie was the team captain.
