The 2014–15 Indian Federation Cup, also known as the Hero Federation Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 36th edition of the Federation Cup, the main national football cup competition in India. Ten of the eleven I-League clubs participated in the tournament the season with Bharat FC being the excluded club.[1]

Churchill Brothers were the reigning champions of the Federation Cup, having won the tournament in 2014, however, due to failing to pass the licensing criteria for the I-League, they were unable to defend their title.[2]

All matches including the semi-final and final were played in Goa.

The final was played between Dempo and Bengaluru FC on 11 January 2015. Bengaluru FC beat Dempo 2–1 to clinch their maiden Federation Cup title.
