The 1995–96 SK Rapid Wien season was the 98th season in the club's history and the club's 22nd consecutive season in the Austrian Football Bundesliga. Rapid began the season by losing the Austrian Supercup to Austria Salzburg, but eventually won the league with 73 points, six points more than the runners-up Sturm Graz, whom they beat and lost twice during the domestic campaign. They were knocked out of the Austrian Cup by Admira Wacker in the third round.
Rapid had its best European campaign since the 1984-85 season in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, where the Vienna club defeated Petrolul Ploiesti, Sporting CP, Dynamo Moscow and Feyenoord, but lost the final against Paris Saint-Germain.
