The 1895 South Australian Football Association season was the 19th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.

The Natives (latter known as West Torrens) was formed by a group of periphery Port Adelaide players who wanted more playing time.

A summary of the 1895 season, including Tables of Games won, goal and behinds scored by each club vs each other club, top goal kickers, and a list of 1st and 2nd places since 1877 was published in the SA Register. [1]
