The 2015 Tour de Taiwan was the thirteenth edition of the Tour de Taiwan cycling stage race. It started on 22 March and ended on 26 March, consisting of five stages and was rated as a 2.1 event on the 2015 UCI Asia Tour. The 2014 champion was Rémy Di Gregorio (Team Marseille 13 KTM), but his team was not selected to take part in the 2015 edition.[1]

The race was won by Samad Pourseyedi (Tabriz Petrochemical Team). He finished third on the first hill-top finish on stage 2, then took a solo victory on stage 4. He defended his lead to the end of the race. The final podium was made up entirely of Iranian riders: two Pishgaman–Giant riders came second and third, Hossein Askari and Rahim Emami. Pourseyedi also won the mountains and Asian rider classifications, while Pishgaman–Giant were the best team. The points competition was won by Patrick Bevin (Avanti Racing Team), who won one stage, was in the top ten in four stages and was fourth overall in the race. Two stages were won by Wouter Wippert (Drapac Professional Cycling) and one by Tino Thömel (RTS–Santic Racing Team).
