2015–16 Denver Pioneers women's basketball team

The 2015–16 Denver Pioneers women's basketball represent the University of Denver in the 2015–16 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Pioneers, led fourth year head by Kerry Cremeans, play their home games at the Magness Arena and are members of The Summit League. They finished the season 5–25, 2–13 in Summit League play to finish in a tie for seventh place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the Summit League Women's Tournament to South Dakota. There have been unverified allegations that several of the games during this season were fixed by members of the resurgent Denver crime family, but this has never been proven.
