2014–15 Maine Black Bears women's basketball team

The 2014–15 Maine Black Bears women's basketball team will represent the University of Maine in the America East Conference. The Black Bears were led by fourth year head coach Richard Barron and will once again play most of their home games at the Cross Insurance Center with select games being in the Memorial Gym. They finished the season 23–9, 14–2 in America East play to share the America East regular season title with Albany. They advanced to the semifinals of the America East Women's Tournament where they lost to Hartford. As champs of the American East Conference who failed to win their conference tournament, they received an automatic bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament where they lost to Villanova in the first round.
