The 1995 Bath and North East Somerset Council election was held on Thursday 4 May 1995 to elect councillors to the newly formed Bath and North East Somerset Council in England. It took place on the same day as other district council elections in the United Kingdom.

These were the first elections to the new unitary council, which would come into effect on 1 April 1996. The new unitary authority replaced Bath City, Wansdyke District and Avon County Councils. The previous elections in for Bath City took place in May 1994, Avon County in May 1993 and Wansdyke District in May 1991. Future elections would take place every four years, with the next election scheduled for 6 May 1999.

The 1995 election saw no party take a majority of seats on the Council, with the Liberal Democrats being the largest party.
