The 1995 Miami Hurricanes football team represented the University of Miami during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. It was the Hurricanes' 70th season of football and fifth as a member of the Big East Conference. The Hurricanes were led by first-year head coach Butch Davis and played their home games at the Orange Bowl. They finished the season 8–3 overall and 6–1 in the Big East to finish as conference co-champion. They served a one-year bowl ban due to NCAA sanctions that were levied at the end of the season.[1]
