The Constitution of 1795, Constitution of 22 August 1795, Constitution of the Year III, or Constitution of 5 Fructidor was a national constitution of France ratified by the National Convention on August 22, 1795 (5 Fructidor of the Year III under the French Revolutionary Calendar) during the French Revolution. It established the Directory, and remained in effect until the coup of 18 Brumaire (November 9, 1799) effectively ended the Revolution and began the ascendancy of Napoleon Bonaparte.

It was succeeded by the Constitution of the Year VIII, which established the Consulate.
