Previous: 1994 Next: 1996

The 1995 British Formula Three season was the 45th British Formula Three Championship, won by Oliver Gavin. The season started on March 26 at Silverstone and ended at Thruxton on October 15 following eighteen races. Having finished runner-up to Kelvin Burt two years previously, Gavin took the risk of dropping back down to Formula Three off the back of an unsuccessful Formula 3000 season. He was able to narrowly clinch the title at the final round from fellow Briton Ralph Firman.
