The 1995–96 National Division 3 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the ninth season of the third tier of the English rugby union league system, the Courage Clubs Championship, currently known as National League 1. New teams to the division included Coventry and Fylde (relegated from tier 2) and Reading and Rotherham (promoted from tier 4).

Following relegation last season, Coventry won the division by three points to finish as champions. They would be joined in 1996–97 National Division 2 by runners up Richmond and, owing to an increase in the number of teams in the above divisions for the following season, 3rd place Rugby and 4th place Rotherham were also promoted. There was no relegation because National Division 3 will consist of sixteen teams next season.
