K-95 is an approximately 6.6-mile-long (10.6 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-95's southern terminus is at U.S. Route 83 (US-83) north of Scott City, and the northern terminus is at US-83 south of Elkader. The highway forms a section of the Western Vistas Historic Byway. K-95 travels through mostly rural land, and is a two-lane highway its entire length.

Within Lake Scott State Park, just west of K-95, is the El Cuartelejo ruins. It is the remains of a structure thought to have been built by Taos Pueblo Indians who left New Mexico in 1664 to escape Spanish rule. The highway passes about 0.6 miles (970 m) east of the area of the Battle of Punished Woman's Fork, the last Indian battle in the state. The route that K-95 follows was planned to become a state highway in a resolution on July 27, 1966, to link US-83 to Lake Scott and Lake Scott State Park. This alignment was altered in a resolution on May 10, 1967, and was designated as K-95. K-95 first appeared on the 1969 State Highway Map, and its alignment has not changed since.
