The 1994–95 NBA season was the 27th season for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association. The Suns were led by Paul Westphal, in his third year as head coach of the Suns. The Suns had finished the regular season with 59 wins, the first time in the franchise's history they had ended the season with 55 or more wins for three consecutive seasons. The Suns swept the Portland Trail Blazers in three shraight games in the first round of the playoffs, but for the second year in a row, had their playoff run stopped in a Western Conference Semifinals' Game 7 loss at the hands of the Houston Rockets. All home games were played at America West Arena.

The Suns were again led in both scoring and rebounding by All-Star Charles Barkley, averaging 23.0 points 11.1 rebounds for the season. In the offseason, the Suns had acquired free agents Danny Manning and Wayman Tisdale. Manning, who was coming off an All-Star year would average 17.9 points a game, but the oft-injured Manning appeared in just 46 games in his first season in Phoenix and would not be available for the Suns' playoff run. For point guard Kevin Johnson, the injury that had allowed him to start in just 35 of 47 games in the regular season happened earlier enough in the season he would be able to play in the Suns' fourth consecutive Western Conference Semifinals. Johnson would average a team-high 7.7 assists and 15.5 points during the regular season.
