The 2015–16 FA Trophy Final will be the 47th final of the Football Association's cup competition for levels 5–8 of the English football league system.

Grimsby Town were beaten finalists in 2013, but it will be Halifax Town's first final and indeed their first ever visit to Wembley in 105 years. For the first time ever the final of the FA Vase will be played on the same day at the same venue, contested by Hereford and Morpeth Town.[1] Both matches will be televised in the UK on BT Sport.[2]
