Route 15 was a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore and its suburbs. The line currently runs from Security Square Mall, Westview Mall, Windsor Hills, or Walbrook Junction (all in West Baltimore or Baltimore County) through downtown Baltimore and northeast to Overlea, with selected peak hour express trips to Perry Hall. The main roads on which it operated include Security Boulevard, Windsor Mill Road, Forest Park Avenue, Poplar Grove Street, Edmondson Avenue, Saratoga Street, Gay Street, and Belair Road, and was one of the most heavily used bus routes operated by the MTA.
The bus route was the successor to the 4 Edmondson Avenue and 15 Gay Street streetcar lines.
On June 18, 2017, as a part of the BaltimoreLink network redesign, Route 15 was discontinued, and replaced by the CityLink Brown, LocalLink 80, LocalLink 79, LocalLink 34, and Express BusLink 115 routes.
