The 1995 Moray Council election was held on 6 April 1995, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. This was the first election to the new unitary Moray Council, and saw the SNP winning control of the council for the first time, taking control from the previous Independent administration. This election was the last to have 18 single member wards, which elected members using the first-past-the-post voting system.
