Early parliamentary elections were held in Austria on 17 December 1995, after the collapse of the grand coalition between the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) and People's Party (ÖVP) over disagreements about the national budget. The SPÖ made small gains, primarily at the expense of minor parties, while the ÖVP remained static. The grand coalition was subsequently renegotiated, and Franz Vranitzky continued as Chancellor.
