The 1895–96 season was Burslem Port Vale's fourth consecutive season of football in the English Football League. Another poor season struggling at the wrong end of the table, this time they failed to gain re-election; two seasons in the Midlands League followed, and despite a finish of 7th and then 5th they were re-elected back into the Football League for the expanded 1898–99 season.
Ever-present goalkeeper Tom Baddeley saved Vale from embarrassing scorelines on numerous occasions.
Ever-present George Price made his debut in 1896, and remained with the club for another eleven years.
Danny Simpson made his debut in 1896, and would become top scorer for 1896–97 and 1897–98.
