The 1994–95 Drake Bulldogs men's basketball team represented Drake University during the 1994–95 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bulldogs, led by 5th-year head coach Rudy Washington, played their home games at the Knapp Center in Des Moines, Iowa, as members of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).
