The 1995–96 Club Atlético Boca Juniors season was the 66th consecutive Primera División season played by the senior squad.

Summary

The campaign is best remembered by the high-expected return to the club of 1986 World Cup champion

Claudio Paul Caniggia,^[3]

Arturo Yorno and loans out ended for Raul Peralta, Roberto Cabañas y Blas Giunta.

On 3 December 1995 Mauricio Macri won his first Chairman's election with 7,000 votes and became new club President ^[4] In Torneo Apertura 1995 the squad finished on 4th spot after several rounds being leader losing the title over the last 5 matches.

Marzolini was sacked and Macri signed

José Horacio Basualdo. The Clausura is best remembered by the bizarre fact of 5 penalties missed by Maradona.^[7]

The club finished on 5th spot with 33 points, seven below of champions Carlos Bianchi' Velez Sarsfield.
