During the 1995–96 English football season, Peterborough United F.C.

competed in the Football League Second Division.

A poor start to the season that saw Peterborough win 3 out of the first 13 games forced manager John Still to leave the club in October 1995 to be replaced by Mick Halsall.

They show signs of improvement between mid-February and mid-March which saw them win 5 out of the last 8 games climbing them to mid-table but as it seemed Peterborough were going to make a late charge for a play-off place, poor form returned, winning just 1 out of final 12 games picking up just 7 points during that run which saw them slump to a disappointing 19th place just 3 points clear of the relegation zone.
