The Emilia-Romagna regional election of 1995 took place on 23 April 1995.

Pier Luigi Bersani (Democratic Party of the Left), who had succeeded Enrico Boselli (Italian Socialist Party) in 1994, was elected President of the Region, defeating Gianfranco Morra (Forza Italia) by a landslide.

For the first time the President of the Region was directly elected by the people, although the election was not yet binding and the President-elect could have been replaced during the term. This is precisely what happened in 1996, when Antonio La Forgia replaced Bersani, who had been appointed minister in Prodi II Cabinet, and again in 1999, when La Forgia was replaced by Vasco Errani.
