The 2015–16 Eredivisie Vrouwen was the sixth season of the Netherlands women's professional football league, and the first season since 2011–12. The Eredivisie returned after a three-season absence, when it was replaced by the BeNe League, which included teams from the Netherlands and Belgium. The season took place from 21 August 2015 to 20 May 2016 with seven teams. FC Twente won its second Eredivisie title and became Dutch champions for a fourth consecutive year, including its BeNe League titles.
Since the last Eredivisie season in 2011–12, VVV-Venlo and FC Utrecht dropped their women's teams. Ajax and PSV, both of which established women's teams in 2012, made their debut in the league alongside ADO Den Haag, SC Heerenveen, Telstar, FC Twente and PEC Zwolle, which all returned to the Eredivisie from the BeNe League.
