# 2014–15 Ergotelis F.C. season

The 2014–15 season was Ergotelis' 85th season in existence, 9th season in the Super League Greece, and the second consecutive season in the top tier since the club's latest promotion from the Football League. Ergotelis also participated in the Greek cup, entering the competition in the Second Round. After a turbulent season, with many managerial changes, player transfers, multiple matches being postponed in mid-season and competitors withdrawing from the league, Ergotelis was relegated after finishing in 16th place during the regular season. The club ultimately was placed in 15th place post-season, after Kerkyra was relegated for illegal transfer of shares. Kerkyra was given the last position of the league table, while Ergotelis' relegation status remained unchanged.
