General elections were held in Mauritius on 20 December 1995. The result was a victory for the Labour Party-Mauritian Militant Movement alliance,[1] which won all 60 constituency seats on Mauritius.

The voting system involved twenty constituencies on Mauritius, which each elected three members. Two seats were elected by residents of Rodrigues, and up to eight seats were filled by the "best losers",[2] although only four were filled at this election. Voter turnout was 79.9%.[3]
