The 2015 Queensland state election was held on 31 January 2015 to elect all 89 members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. It was conducted by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ).

The incumbent Liberal National government, led by Premier Campbell Newman, tried to win a second term in government. It lost to the Labor Party, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk, after Labor won a minority government. The LNP lost its supermajority and Newman lost his own seat of Ashgrove.

Palaszczuk became the second woman to win a state election in Australia, after Anna Bligh (also from Queensland).
