These are the official results of the Men's 800 metres event at the 1995 IAAF World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. There were a total number of 49 participating athletes, with two semi-finals, and seven qualifying heats and the final held on Tuesday August 8, 1995.

The final pared down to 8runners who believed in their kick. Vebjørn Rodal became the leader with Wilson Kipketer at the end of the field. Rodall led through an easy pace 52.53 through the first lap. With 200 to go, Nico Motchebon moved to the front, covered by Kipketer, but Rodall didn't relinquish the lead. Kipketer timed his big burst for 70 metres before the finish, Rodall had no answer but held off Motchebon, the rest of the field fading away. Coming from behind Motchebon, Arthémon Hatungimana was able to gradually gain on Rodall, passing him just a step before the finish.
