The 2014–15 season was Leicester City F.C.'s 110th season in the English football league system and their 47th (non-consecutive) season in the top tier of English football. They participated in the 2014–15 Premier League, their first time in Premier League in ten years, having been promoted from the Championship as champions. They also participated in the 2014–15 FA Cup and 2014–15 Football League Cup.
The season saw Leicester finish 14th in the Premier League, securing another top flight season. Despite the club being marooned at the bottom of the table for four-and-a-half months between late November and mid-April, the Foxes managed to put together a run of seven wins from their last nine fixtures to survive comfortably.
