Peter Peacock Independent The 1995 Highland Council election was held on 6 April 1995; the same day as elections to the 28 other new councils in Scotland.

72 councillors were elected from 72 wards using the first-past-the-post voting system.

Independent councillors retained their status as the majority group, with councillors also being elected representing the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats, and Scottish National Party.

The newly elected council existed in 'shadow' form until it assumed its full powers on 1 April 1996.

Note: Seat/vote changes relate to the previous Highland Regional Council election on 5 May 1994.
