A member of the first generation Embraer E-Jet family, the Embraer E195 is a four-abreast, narrow-body, short to medium range twin-engine jet airliner produced by Embraer S.A., a Brazilian aerospace manufacturer headquartered at São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Embraer E195 was developed as a further stretch variant of the popular Embraer E190, which was itself a stretch version of the two original E-Jet base variants, namely the Embraer E170 and Embraer E175. The E195, like the E190, was designed to compete against and/or replace several other aircraft of its time, including the Airbus A318, Boeing 717-200, Boeing 737-500, Boeing 737-600, and in its later years the Airbus A220-100. It was also marketed as a replacement for the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 series of aircraft.

The E195 took its first flight in December 2004, and it entered revenue service in September 2006. Production of the Embraer E195 ended in 2024 after 172 units were built, having since been replaced by the newer generation Embraer E195-E2 model.

During its production lifespan, the Embraer E195 was sold only as a passenger aircraft. However, the E195 can now be converted to a cargo version (the Embraer E195F) through an aftermarket freighter conversion program.
