The Eurovision Song Contest 1995 was the 40th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Dublin, Ireland, following the country's victory at the 1994 contest with the song "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" by Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan. It was the sixth time that Ireland had hosted the contest, having previously done so in 1971, 1981, 1988, 1993 and 1994. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), the contest was held at the Point Theatre, with the final on 13 May 1995. The live show was presented by Mary Kennedy.

Twenty-three countries participated in the contest. It saw the return of Belgium, Denmark, Israel, Slovenia and Turkey, after being relegated from competing the previous year. Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland were relegated due to their results at the previous edition. Lithuania would not return to the contest for another four years.

The winner was Norway with the song "Nocturne", performed by Secret Garden, written by Petter Skavlan and composed by band member Rolf Løvland. This was Norway's second victory in the contest, following their win in 1985. Spain, Sweden, France and Denmark rounded out the top five, with Spain getting their first top three placing in more than a decade. Further down the table, Slovenia achieved their best result so far, finishing seventh.

Until 2021, this was the last time that the top three songs in the final were not performed in English.
