The 1995–96 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 17th World Cup season in ski jumping and the 6th official World Cup season in ski flying with the sixth small crystal globe awarded.
The season began in Lillehammer, Norway on 2 December 1995 and finished in Oslo, Norway on 16 March 1996. The individual World Cup overall winner was Andreas Goldberger (third and last time in his career), his second Ski Flying small crystal globe and last of his 20 World Cup wins; the Nations Cup was taken by the Team of Finland.
28 men's individual events on 20 different venues in 14 countries were held on three different continents (Europe, Asia and North America); two individual events were cancelled due to bad weather conditions in Trondheim and Harrachov (on both occasions cancelled in first round due to strong wind). Also four men's team event was held.
Peaks of the season were FIS Ski Flying World Championships (which also counted for World Cup for the third Championship in a row) and Four Hills Tournament.
For the 2nd season in a row Ski Jumping small crystal globe was awarded (NH and LH events).
