The 1995 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1995 NCAA Division I-AA football season. The Vandals, led by first-year head coach Chris Tormey, were members of the Big Sky Conference and played their home games at the Kibbie Dome, an indoor facility on campus in Moscow, Idaho. Idaho finished the regular season at 6–4 and 4–3 in the Big Sky, their final season in the conference for more than two decades.

Idaho defeated rival Boise State for the thirteenth time in fourteen seasons.[2][3][4][5][6]

Since 1978,[7] the Vandals' football uniforms made prominent use of yellow gold (helmets, pants),[8][9][10] which continued through this season. With the move to up Division I-A in 1996, the shade of gold was changed to metallic.[11]
