Belarusian First League 1995 was the fifth season of 2nd level football championship in Belarus. It started in August and ended in November 1995.
Winners of 1994–95 Belarusian First League MPKC Mozyr and runners-up Ataka-Aura Minsk were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. Three lowest-placed teams (ZLiN Gomel, AFViS-RShVSM Minsk and Stroitel Vitebsk) relegated to the Second League. Stroitel Vitebsk eventually desbanded before the start of the season.
These teams were replaced by two lowest placed teams of Premier League (Gomselmash Gomel, renamed to FC Gomel starting this season, and Lokomotiv Vitebsk) as well as three best teams of 1994–95 Second League (Naftan-Devon Novopolotsk, Fomalgaut Borisov and Dinamo-Juni Minsk).
Before the start of the season Santanas Samokhvalovichi, placed 8th last season, withdrew to amateur level due to financial troubles. Thus, the league was reduced to 15 teams for this season.
Newcomers Naftan-Devon Novopolotsk won the tournament and were promoted to the Premier League. Runners-up Kommunalnik Pinsk qualified to the promotion play-offs against 15th team of Premier League but lost and had to stay in the First League. Khimvolokno Grodno, who finished 15th, relegated to the Second League. The team eventually disbanded before the 1996 season, as did Fomalgaut Borisov and Kimovets Vitebsk, who finished 3rd and 14th.
