The 1995 Portuguese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 24 September 1995 at the Autódromo do Estoril. The 71-lap race was the first Formula One win for David Coulthard of the Williams team after starting from pole position. Michael Schumacher was second in a Benetton, with Damon Hill third in the latter Williams car.

Gerhrad Berger with this Ferrari 412 T2 finished 4th, half a second ahead of tema mate Jena Alesi.

After several controversial incidents previously involving Schumacher and Hill in the 1995 season, including collisions at Silverstone, Spa and Monza (the latter two of which saw confrontations between the two drivers respectively on the podium and at track-side, Schumacher and Hill shook hands with each other at the podium presentation following this race. As the race began from its standing start, Ukyo Katayama who qualified in 16th moved into the racing path of Luca Badoer, whose Minardi began in 18th. The contact caused Katayama's Tyrrell to launch airborne and spin several times upside down along the start/finish straight. Katayama was extracted from the car and hospitalized for two days with what was later diagnosed with a strained neck and bruising in the crash.
