Mary Pierce defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in the final, 6–3, 6–2 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1995 Australian Open. It was her first major singles title. Pierce did not lose a set during the tournament.

Steffi Graf was the reigning champion, but did not participate due to an injury. As Monica Seles was still recovering from being stabbed in the back on 30 April 1993, by a crazed fan of Graf, this was the first time since 1987 that neither Graf, nor Seles, played in the Australian Open. Two duo won 7 consecutive Australian Open titles from 1988 to 1994, with Graf winning the first three and Seles winning the next three.

This tournament marked the first main-draw major appearance of future world No. 1, five-time major singles champion, three-time (1997-1999) Australian Open singles champion, and 6-time (1997-2002) Australian Open singles finalist Martina Hingis; she lost in the second round to Kyōko Nagatsuka.
