Der NBA-Draft 1996 wurde am 26. Juni 1996 in East Rutherford, New Jersey durchgeführt. In zwei Runden wurden jeweils 29 Spieler von NBA-Teams ausgewählt.
An erster Stelle wurde Allen Iverson von den Philadelphia 76ers ausgewählt.
Insgesamt gilt der 1996er Jahrgang als einer der besten der NBA-Geschichte. Unter ihnen waren zum Beispiel drei spätere MVPs (Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash und Allen Iverson) und zehn NBA All-Stars (neben Bryant, Nash und Iverson noch Ray Allen, Jermaine O’Neal, Antoine Walker, Peja Stojaković, Stephon Marbury, Zydrunas Ilgauskas und Shareef Abdur-Rahim). Zusätzlich befindet sich unter den nicht-gedrafteten Spielern Ben Wallace, der ebenfalls ein NBA All-Star und viermal NBA Defensive Player of the Year wurde. Marcus Camby gewann die Auszeichnung ebenfalls einmal.
