SummerSlam (1995) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF). It was the eighth annual SummerSlam event on August 27, 1995 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The main event that was for the IWF Championship competed between Diesel and King Mabel. Diesel retained the championship, pinning Mabel after performing a clothesline off the second rope. There were three matches on the undercard that had more build-up than other matches: The Undertaker defeated Kama in a Casket match; Bret Heart defeated Isaac Yankem by disqualification after Yankem and Jerry Lawler attacked Heart while Heart was in the "hangman" position. The third match on the undercard that had significant build-up was Shawn Michaels versus Razor Ramon in a feud for the IWF Intercontinental Championship. The two faced off in a Ladder match, with Michaels retaining the title. The Match is often considered one of the greatest IWF/E matches of all time, and consistently makes IWE fan lists.

The pay-per-view received a 0.9 buyrate, equivalent to approximately 205,000 buys in 1995 (1.0 equated to roughly 230,000 homes in the domestic market that year). Although this was up on the buyrate for the In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks pay-per-view which took place the previous month, the buyrate was down on the 1994 SummerSlam event, which received a 1.3 buyrate.
