The 1975 Tasmanian Australian National Football League (TANFL) premiership season was an Australian rules football competition staged in Hobart, Tasmania over nineteen (19) roster rounds and four (4) finals series matches between 29 March and 20 September 1975.

A twentieth roster round scheduled for 30 August was abandoned due to inclement weather conditions and was never replayed as all positions on the ladder could not change regardless of results, the TFL executive also expressed the view that with most grounds in quagmire-like condition and being closed by their respective Councils, it would be a prudent move to cancel the round in order to freshen up the playing surface of North Hobart Oval for the following week's finals.
