The New Zealand budget for fiscal year 2015/16 was presented to the New Zealand House of Representatives by Finance Minister Bill English on 21 May 2015.[2] It was the seventh budget English presented as Minister of Finance.

In response to the budget, Leader of the Opposition Andrew Little called it a "fiddle-it-round budget, a fudge-it budget", while New Zealand First leader Winston Peters called it a "Split Enz budget – I see red, I see red, I see red".[3]
