The 2015–16 AS Saint-Étienne season is the 83rd professional season of the club since its creation in 1933.

Players

French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.

Notes:

1. Since the winners of 2015–16 Coupe de la Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain, qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the League Cup winner (Europa League third qualifying round) is passed to the next best team in the table not already qualified for European competitions (in this case, the fifth-placed team).
