The 1895 Harvard Crimson football team represented Harvard University in the 1895 college football season. The Crimson finished with an 8–2–1 record. First-year head coach Robert Emmons led the team from October 21 to November 3.[1] Following the team's 12–4 loss to Princeton, assistant Lorin F. Deland took over as head coach.[2] He led the team to a 1–1–1 record in their last three games, including a 17–14 loss to Penn, the closest the undefeated Quakers came to defeat that year.[3]
