The 1995 World Figure Skating Championships were held in Birmingham, UK on 7–12 March. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

During the ladies' singles competition, Michelle Kwan's routine was rated highly enough by the judges to earn her fourth place. But the ranked choice system used in the voting resulted in Nicole Bobek and Surya Bonaly exchanging second and third place in the final standings, an example of the irrelevant independent alternative having an effect it should not in a fair voting system. The International Skating Union changed to a pairwise ranking system in 1998 as a result of the controversy this caused, but it was forced to change it again six years later in the wake of a similar incident at the 2002 Winter Olympics.[1]
