The 1995 South Carolina Gamecocks football team represented the University of South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Gamecocks were led by second-year head coach Brad Scott and played their home games in Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.

In an otherwise unsuccessful season, the Gamecocks almost upset No. 14 LSU at home, leading with just over a minute left in the game. However, a late touchdown by the Tigers allowed them to tie the game.[1] Due to overtime being permanently implemented in the 1996 NCAA Division I-A football season, this remains the last tie in Gamecock football history, and one of the last ties in college football history.[2]
