The 1994–95 Regionalliga season was the first year of the Regionalliga as the third tier of German football. There were four regional sections, Nord, Nordost, West-Südwest and Süd, each with eighteen teams. Most teams qualified from the Oberliga, which dropped to become a fourth-tier league, while five teams were relegated from the previous year's 2. Bundesliga. In the Nord section, four teams were promoted from the formerly fourth-tier Verbandsliga.

The four regional champions were all promoted directly to the 2. Bundesliga. The four runners-up entered the Amateur Championship, which was not a promotion playoff. Twelve teams were relegated, although the amount per region varied depending on the teams relegated from the second tier.

This was the last season of two points for a win, before it was increased to three.

Regionalliga Nord

The Regionalliga Nord covered the states of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.

Teams

The division largely replaced the Oberliga Nord, with fourteen of the teams qualifying directly from that division. FC Bremerhaven, SC Concordia, Lüneburger SK and SV Wilhelmshaven all earned promotion from the Verbandsliga.
