The 1996 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 1996 NCAA Division II football season. They played as a Division II independent in 1996. They would stay an independent until 2004 when they became a charter member of the Great West Conference (GWC).
The 1996 Aggies were led by fourth-year head coach Bob Biggs and played their home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the regular season with a record of six wins and four losses (6–4). This was the 27th consecutive year UC Davis finished with a winning record.
At the end of the season the Aggies were ranked #17 and were invited to the Division II playoffs. In the first round they upset top-ranked Texas A&M–Kingsville in Kingsville, Texas. In the second round (quarterfinal), they upset 9th-ranked Central Oklahoma on their home field in Davis. In the semi-final game they were defeated by 6th-ranked Carson–Newman in Jefferson City, Tennessee. That brought the Aggies final record to eight wins and five losses (8–5). The Aggies outscored their opponents 369–240 for the season.
