The 1995 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 106th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 38th season in Los Angeles, California.

The season was notable for the American baseball debut of Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo. In his first season with the Dodgers after an accomplished career in the Japanese leagues, Nomo went 13–6 with a 2.54 ERA and a league leading 236 strikeouts. He was the starting pitcher in the All-Star game and won the Rookie of the Year award.

The Dodgers won the National League West title, but lost to the Cincinnati Reds in the NLDS.

This was Tommy Lasorda's final full season as manager of the Dodgers. Midway through the next season, Lasorda would be replaced by his former shortstop Bill Russell.

Major League Baseball draft

Main article: 1995 Major League Baseball draft

The Dodgers selected 85 players in this draft. Of those, six of them would eventually play Major League baseball.

The first draft pick was left handed pitcher David Yocum out of Florida State University. After an impressive first season with the Vero Beach Dodgers of the Florida State League, Yocum experienced pain in his left shoulder, several surgeries failed to correct the problem and he was out of baseball after just two seasons and 15 games. He later became a firefighter.
