The 1995 London Monarchs season was the third season for the franchise in the World League of American Football (WLAF). The team was led by head coach Bobby Hammond in his first year, and played its home games at White Hart Lane in London, England. They finished the regular season in fourth place with a record of four wins and six losses.

During the season, in early May 1995 London signed ex-New York Jets linebacker Dean Lytle from the WLAF's Frankfurt Galaxy.{{cite news|title=American football: London Monarchs have signed the linebacker Dead Lytle|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/american-football-1618447.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/american-football-1618447.html |archive-date=2022-05-01 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|accessdate=30 May 2014|newspaper=The Independent|date=6 May 1995}}{{cbignore}}
