The 1995–96 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 9th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the National Division of the FA Women's Premier League, finishing in third place. They failed to progress in the Premier League Cup and the FA Cup as well, meaning they missed out on all three major trophies.[1] However, they were able to retain the London County Cup for a second year in a row, by defeating Millwall Lionesses in the Final.

This season, Arsenal moved south from The Lantern Stadium at Potters Bar, to take up a new home at Hayes Lane in Bromley.
