The 1995–96 Primeira Divisão was the 62nd edition of top flight of Portuguese football.
It started on 19 August 1995 with a match between União de Leiria and Marítimo, and ended on 12 May 1996.
Starting from this season, Portugal implemented the three points for a win rule, after FIFA formally adopted the system.

Guimarães qualified for the 1996–97 UEFA Cup; in opposite, União da Madeira, Beira-Mar and Vitória de Setúbal were relegated to the Liga de Honra.
The other three teams were replaced by Leça, Campomaiorense and Felgueiras from the Liga de Honra.
