The 215th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry (9th Union League) was an infantry regiment of the Union Army in the American Civil War. It was raised in Philadelphia close to the end of the war, and spent most of its slightly more than three months of service guarding Confederate prisoners while garrisoning Fort Delaware.
