The 1995–96 Drexel Dragons men's basketball team represented Drexel University during the 1995–96 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Dragons, led by 5th year head coach Bill Herrion, played their home games at the Daskalakis Athletic Center and were members of the North Atlantic Conference (which has since changed name).

In the 1995–96 season, the Dragons won a school record 27 games, won the North Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament for the third season in a row, qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in school history, and also won the school's first ever NCAA Tournament game in the first round of the 1996 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

After reaching the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, the Dragons lost to Syracuse by a score of 58–69. Syracuse would go on to finish runner–up in the tournament, losing to Kentucky in the National Championship.

In the 1995–96 season, Malik Rose broke Drexel's individual single season record for rebounds with 409 in 31 games.
