Aruba competed at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from July 10 to 26, 2015.

A team of 25 athletes across 9 sports were selected to represent the country at the games. Sailor Philipine van Aanholt was the flagbearer of the team during the opening ceremony.

Aruba did not medal at the games, continuing its drought as one of two nations (along with The British Virgin Islands) to never win a Pan American Games medal. However, the nation did come close to ending the drought with one fourth place and two fifth-place finishes.
