The 1995 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 63rd in the league. The team improved upon their previous output of 7–9, winning ten games and qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.

Off Season

The eagles training camp was held for 16th and final year at West Chester University of Pennsylvania's John A. Farrell Stadium in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The camp was about 20 miles from their home stadium in south Philadelphia. In 1996 the Eagles would move to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania about 50 miles away.

NFL Draft

The 1995 NFL Draft was held April 22–23, 1995. The league also held a supplemental draft after the regular draft and before the regular season.

With a 7–9 record in 1994, and tying with 4 other teams, the Eagles would rotate picking between the 8th pick to the 12th pick in the 7 rounds. They would choose 8 players in the 5 rounds they had picks. The Eagles would make a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for Draft picks to move from 12th to 7th on the 1st round. With their 1st pick in the draft, acquired from Tampa Bay, the Eagles chose Mike Mamula a Defensive End out of Boston College

The Cincinnati Bengals made a trade with the Carolina Panthers to get the overall 1st pick in the draft. They choose Ki-Jana Carter a Running Back that went to Penn State
