The 2015–16 Andebol 1 (also known as Fidelidade Andebol 1 for sponsorship reasons) is the 64th season of the Portuguese Handball First Division, the premier professional handball league in Portugal.

A total of twelve teams play against each other twice (home and away) in the first phase. The eight best-ranked teams qualify for the second-phase play-offs to determine the champion, while the remaining four play among themselves to determine which two teams are relegated to the Second Division.

Porto were the seven-time defending champions, but were eliminated by Benfica in the play-off semi-finals.
