The 1995 Illinois Fighting Illini football team represented the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in the 1995 NCAA Division I-A football season. Illinois finished the season 5–5–1 (3–4–1 in Big Ten play) in Lou Tepper's fourth season as head coach.
The Illini's 3–3 tie with Wisconsin on November 25 is the last tie in FBS history as the NCAA implanted an overtime system following the season that eliminated the possibility of a tie.[1]
