Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Nocturne", composed by Rolf Løvland, with lyrics by Petter Skavlan, and performed by Secret Garden. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 1995 in order to select its entry for the contest. The entry eventually won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Nine semi-finals were held weekly between 14 January and 18 March 1995. Two songs competed in each semi-final with the winner from each semi-final qualifying for the final, along with one of the losing songs which were given wildcards.

Final
NRK held the final at its studios in Oslo, hosted by Petter Nome. Ten songs took part with the winner being chosen by voting from regional juries, a jury based in Dublin consisting of previous Irish Eurovision winners, and televoting. Other participants included Geir Rønning, who would later represent Finland at the 2005 contest.
