The 1995 African Women's Championship was the second edition of the African women's football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football to determine its single qualifier for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, which eventually went to Nigeria.

Eight teams were initially scheduled to play in this edition of the tournament, but two withdrew. This was the second and final edition of the tournament to be played on a home-and-away knockout basis, as CAF upgraded and rechristen the tournament to full-scale with the introduction of a group stage from the following edition onwards.
