North American X-15 je bilo ameriško raketno letalo letalskega proizvajalca North American Aviation. Letalo je bilo verjetno najpomembnejše preskusno letalo Vojnega letalstva in Vojne mornarice ZDA v nizu letal X. X-15 je podrl veliko hitrostnih in višinskih rekordov in je celo dosegel rob vesoljskega prostora. Podatki s poletov z X-15 so prispevali k poznejšemu razvoju letal in vesoljskih plovil/ladij.
