The 1995 Kansas City Royals season was a season in American baseball. During this season, the Royals finished second in the American League Central, with a record of 70 wins and 74 losses.

Although the 1995 Royals had a losing record and finished 30 games behind the Cleveland Indians, the second-place finish in 1995 was the highest finish for the franchise in the American League Central since the Royals joined that division in 1994, until the 2014 team (also) finished second and the 2015 team won the franchise's first Central Division championship.
