The 1995 Madrilenian regional election was held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect the 4th Assembly of the Autonomous Community of Madrid. All 103 seats in the Assembly were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.
The election resulted in the People's Party (PP) winning an absolute majority of votes and seats for the first time, which allowed Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón to become President and end 12 years of Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) rule in the community. Joaquín Leguina's PSOE suffered from PM Felipe González' unpopularity at national level and fell below 30% for the first time in a regional election. The third party, United Left (IU), benefitted from the PSOE's decline and polled just over 16%, their highest vote share at a Madrid Assembly election to date.
