The 1975 California Angels season was the 15th season of the Angels franchise in the American League, the 10th in Anaheim, and their 10th season playing their home games at Anaheim Stadium. The Angels finished the season sixth in the American League West with a record of 72 wins and 89 losses.

California hit 55 home runs for the entire season. This caused Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee to say about the team- "could take batting practice in a hotel lobby without damaging a chandelier."
