The 1995 New Jersey General Assembly elections were held on November 7, 1995, for all 80 seats in the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature. Republicans held a 52-28 majority in the lower house prior to the election, as Democrats flipped a seat in the 18th district in a 1994 special election. The members of the New Jersey Legislature are chosen from 40 electoral districts. Each district elects one state senator and two State Assembly members. New Jersey uses coterminous legislative districts for both its State Senate and General Assembly.

Republicans were able to flip one seat in the 2nd and both in the 7th. Democrats flipped one seat in the 6th, 18th, 35th, and both in the 19th.
