The 1995 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season was the 38th season for the team in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and their 46th overall. The Tiger-Cats finished in fourth place in the North Division with an 8–10 record. They appeared in a North Semi-Final game but lost to the Calgary Stampeders. It was Hamilton's first ever post-season meeting with the Stampeders, as well as the only non-Grey Cup postseason game in the history of professional Canadian football to be played between teams that did not face one another in the regular season.
