The 1994–95 Miami Heat season is the seventh season of the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Before the season started, the Heat traded Rony Seikaly to the Golden State Warriors for Billy Owens. Then two games into the season, they sent Steve Smith, and Grant Long to the Atlanta Hawks for Kevin Willis. The Heat finished fourth in the Atlantic Division with a 32-50 record. This was also Glen Rice's final year with the Heat, as he was traded along with Matt Geiger, and Khalid Reeves to the Charlotte Hornets for Alonzo Mourning the following season.

On April 15, 1995, Rice scored 56 points against the Orlando Magic,[1][2] establishing a new franchise record that would stand until LeBron James's 61 points in 2014.[3] During the 1995 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, Rice won the Three Point Shootout, and Harold Miner won the Slam Dunk Contest for the second time.
