The 1994–95 season was Cardiff City F.C.'s 68th season in the Football League. They competed in the 24-team Division Two, then the third tier of English football, finishing twenty-second, suffering relegation to Division Three.

After three months of the season, manager Eddie May was sacked from his position and replaced by Terry Yorath. However Yorath's spell in charge saw the side plummet to the bottom of the table and Yorath was also sacked and remarkably replaced by the man he took over from in Eddie May.
