The 2015–16 Duke Blue Devils women's basketball team will represent Duke University during the 2015–16 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. Returning as head coach was Joanne P. McCallie entering her 9th season. The team plays its home games at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They finished the season 20–12, 8–8 in ACC play to finish in a tie for seventh place. They advanced to the quarterfinals of the ACC Women's Tournament to Notre Dame. They missed the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994 and they were also declined to invite to the Women's National Invitation Tournament due to a limited roster.[1]
