The 2014–15 UAB Blazers men's basketball team represented UAB as part of Conference USA during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Blazers were coached by Jerod Haase in his third year, assisted by Robert Ehsan, Richie Riley, and Jeff Wulbrun. UAB played their home games at Bartow Arena on the UAB campus. The team drew an average of 3,248 to their 17 home games.
The Blazers finished the regular season 16–14 overall and 12–6 in conference play to finish in a tie for fourth place in C-USA. The team had a home record of 13-4 (9-0 in C-USA), but went 3-8 on opponents' home courts and 4-4 on neutral floors.
With their head-to-head win over Western Kentucky, the Blazers earned a first-round bye as the fourth seed in the 2015 Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament played in Birmingham's Legacy Arena. UAB swept Western Kentucky, Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee State University to claim the Conference USA crown and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. In the round of 64 in Louisville, Kentucky UAB upset 9-seed Iowa State to advance, then lost in a rematch with UCLA in the round of 32.
