The 2015 Rodavese general elections were held on 10 and 17 January 2015, to elect the 14th Generalitat of the Kingdom of the Rodaves. All 460 seats in the Generalitat were up for election.

Following the 2011 election, the National Worker's Union (UNO) served as the senior member of the centre-left governing coalition with the Democratic Republicans, with confidence and supply support from several other left-leaning parties, resulting in the first UNO government since after the 1987 election. After investigations in 2013 by the Justice Ministry into the personal funds and the national budget under several of the Gratallops governments, former Prime Minister and now Leader of the Opposition Lluís Gratallops was convicted and expelled from parliament, leaving former Finance Minister Eduard Crescas to win the Vinga Rodagues leadership election and subsequently serving as Leader of the Opposition for the remainder of the 13th Generalitat.

The UNO overperformed expectations and kept almost all of their gains from 2011, retaining a plurality of seats in parliament. Meanwhile Vinga Rodagues, rebranded as Leading Our Future (LNF) suffered their worst election and lowest seat total in their history, leading Eduard Crescas to resign shortly after the election. The Union for Rodavese Democracy gained many former seats they had lost to over the last two elections despite struggling with direction and leadership since the resignation of Domènec Duesaigües as party leader in 2009.
