The 1995 Castilian-Manchegan regional election was held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect the 4th Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. All 47 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

Despite bearing enormous losses, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) was able to maintain government, albeit with a mere 1-seat majority. The People's Party (PP), which in this election made the greatest gains, finished a close second but remained unable to win the PSOE in one of its — considered — strongest strongholds. Meanwhile, United Left (IU) maintained its presence in the Courts and was able to increase both its vote support and share, but remained unable to gain new seats.

The Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha were the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilian-Manchegan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to grant or revoke confidence from a President of the Junta of Communities. Voting for the Cortes was on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Castilla-La Mancha and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote.
