The 1995 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University in the sport of American football for the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. Coached by Gerry DiNardo in his first season at LSU, the Tigers played their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The team won seven games, lost four, and had one tie. It concluded the season with a 45–26 win over Michigan State in the 1995 Independence Bowl.

The 45 points scored by LSU in their bowl win over the Spartans was the second-most points (behind Drew Brees and Purdue's 52 points in 1999) allowed by a Nick Saban coached team until the 2019 LSU Tigers put up 46 against Saban's Alabama squad (which was also the most points surrendered by any Alabama team at home in regulation).

The Tigers broke out purple pants for its game at Kentucky, but lost 24-16. The pants were immediately retired.

LSU did not play in-state rival Tulane in the Battle for the Rag for the first time since 1910 (not counting 1918, when both teams canceled their seasons during the height of U.S. involvement in World War I).
