The 1995 Texas A&M Aggies football team represented Texas A&M University as a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by seventh-year head coach R. C. Slocum, the Aggies compiled an overall record of 9–3 with a mark of 5–2 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for second in the SWC. Texas A&M was invited to the Alamo Bowl, where the Aggies defeated Michigan. The team was ranked No. 15 in both the final AP poll and the final Coaches Poll. Texas A&M played home games at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.
1995 was the final season for the SWC. At the end of the season, Texas A&M, along with Baylor University, Texas Tech University, and University of Texas at Austin, joined the members of the Big Eight Conference to form the Big 12 Conference, which began play in 1996.
