The lifetime of the 17/2+ yrast state in 195Po has been measured using the recoil distance Doppler-shift technique to be 
= 43(11) ps. The lifetime was extracted from the singles 
-ray spectra obtained by using the recoil-decay tagging method. The present work provides more information of the coupling schemes, shapes and configuration mixing in neutron-deficient odd-mass Po nuclei.
