Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1895 was the first season in which the English county cricket club Derbyshire played in the County Championship which had been established in 1890. The club settled their place by coming fifth with five championship wins. It was the club's 25th season although the matches in the period between 1888 and 1893 were not given first-class status. Matches in 1894 were accorded first class status, but were not included in the County Championship.

1895 season

Derbyshire joined the County Championship, together with Essex, Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Hampshire. Derbyshire played 16 games in the County Championship, and one match against MCC. They won six matches altogether and drew seven. Brewer's son Sydney Evershed was in his fifth season as captain. William Chatterton was top scorer although George Davidson had a better average and took most wickets with 93 (79 in the championship).

Making their entry in the Championship, the club tried out a large number of players, all of whom played less than 20 games for the club. John Berwick lasted longest as a regular player, while John Hall and Henry Blackwell appeared infrequently over several seasons. John Goodall, John Bennett and Joseph Brooks played in 1895 and in 1896, while Harry Storer and Thomas Richardson only played in the 1895 season. Jesse Boot and Harry Spencer played only one match.
