Nuestra Belleza Latina 2015 (also known as NBL 2015) is the ninth season of Nuestra Belleza Latina and the ninth season to be aired on Univision. The season premiere was on Sunday January 18, 2015, the earliest premiere of all nine seasons. The season finale was on Sunday April 12, 2015, the earliest finale of all nine seasons.

The auditions were shown on three Sundays, prior to the selection of the final 12 contestants. Auditions were held September 2014 through November 2014 in six US cities (Miami, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; New York City, New York; Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, and San Juan, Puerto Rico) and virtual online casting. This was the first time since 2013 to show the contestants' castings, and in the previous two seasons only the final 36 and 24 were shown. During the audition process, 35 young women were given passes to the semi-finals in Miami and the remaining 5 were chosen from the online casting. The forty women were asked questions by the judges, then the chosen top twenty contestants did a talent presentation on stage, from which the 12 finalists were selected.

The winner of the contest was awarded a contract to appear on many of Univision's programs and award shows, and a chance to win $200,000 in cash and prizes including a 2015 Kia Soul: the same amount of prizes awarded in previous seasons. She will also be a host for ¡Despierta América!, a correspondent for Premios Juventud 2015, and awarded the title of "Nuestra Belleza Latina" for 2015. The runner-up contestant was awarded a contract to appear as a news correspondent for El Gordo y La Flaca and award shows.

The winner of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2015 is Francisca Lachapel from the Dominican Republic.[1]
