The 1995 Basilicata regional election took place on 23 April 1995. The election was for all 30 seats of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically became a member of the council alongside two other seats, plus that of the second-placed candidate. It was the third-last election of the 1995 Italian regional elections. For the first time, the president of the region was directly elected by the people, although the election was not yet binding and the president-elect could have been replaced during the term. Raffaele Dinardo of the Populars was elected president of the region, defeating Giampiero Perri of Forza Italia by a landslide. The sole Southern Italy region that year to be governed by the centre-left coalition, it was the start of what became a over 20-year rule that led political comparisons of Basilicata to the left-wing Emilia-Romagna region.
