The 1995 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 30th season in the National Football League (NFL). The team finished with a 9–7 record, and qualified for the post-season as a wild card.

The Falcons's pass defense gave up 4,541 yards through the air in 1995, which was a league record until 2011.[1][2] The Falcons' defense faced a total of 650 pass attempts, the most all time.[3][4] The 405 passes completed against Atlanta in 1995 are fifth-most in NFL history.[5] Still, Atlanta's points surrendered was 19th in the league, and its point-differential for the season was +13.[6]
