1995–96 Valparaiso Crusaders men's basketball team

The 1995–96 Valparaiso Crusaders men's basketball team represented Valparaiso University during the 1995–96 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Crusaders, led by eighth-year head coach Homer Drew, played their home games at the Athletics–Recreation Center as members of the Mid-Continent Conference. Valpo finished atop the conference regular season standings and followed that success by winning the Mid-Con tournament to receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Playing as the No. 14 seed in the West region, the Crusaders were beaten by No. 3 seed Arizona in the opening round. The team finished with a record of 21–11 (13–5 Mid-Con) which was later adjusted to 22–10.

This season marked the first of five straight trips to the NCAA tournament and seven appearances in and eight-year period.
