The 1995 Embassy World Professional Darts Championship was held from 1 to 8 January 1995 at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey. Richie Burnett became the second Welshman to be crowned World Champion after the inaugural winner Leighton Rees. Burnett defeated Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld 6 sets to 3 in the final. Defending champion John Part of Canada lost in the second round to qualifier Paul Williams.

This particular edition saw Peter Wright make his World Championship debut, where he would lose to Burnett in the first round. He eventually became world champion 25 years later by winning the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship.
