Kvartal 95 (Ukrainian: 95-й квартал, lit. '95th quarter') is a residential neighborhood in the central part of Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. Its name literally means "Quarter", in the way the city was divided during the post-war (World War II) Soviet period.

Later, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the neighborhood became famous in connection with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his stage production Kvartal 95 Studio which was named after it. With Zelenskyy becoming the President of Ukraine, the Kvartal 95 fame spread outside of Ukraine.
