95th Quarter or 95th Kvartal (Ukrainian: 95 квартал) is a public square and also a residential neighborhood in downtown Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. Its name literally means "quarter", in the way the city was divided during the post-war (World War II) Soviet period.

Nowadays, the neighborhood became famous in connection with the 6th president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy — and his stage production Kvartal 95 Studio, which was named after it due to its proximity to all project participants (although the number "95" also had symbolic significance). With Zelenskyy becoming President of Ukraine and gaining increasing international fame, the name "95th Quarter" spread beyond Ukraine.
