The 1995–96 National Division 4 was the ninth full season of rugby union within the fourth tier of the English league system, currently the regional divisions National League 2 South and National League 2 North, and the third and final using the name National Division 4. Impending changes to the league structure by the RFU meant that this would be the last season for National Division 4 as a national league with it reverting to the previous incarnation of two regional leagues - National Division 4 North and National Division 4 North. It would also herald the elimination of National Division 5 North and South, which were to be divided back into four regional divisions - North 1, Midlands 1, London 1 and South West 1. These changes meant that the top 8 teams would be promoted to an expanded National Division 3 while the bottom teams would be transferred into the reintroduced National Division 4 North or South depending on location, where they would be joined by teams from the discontinued National Division 5 North/South divisions.

By the end of the campaign Exeter finished as champions, 4 points ahead of runners up London Welsh. Both champions and runners up were joined by the teams ranked 3rd through to 8th in claiming promotion to the 1996–97 National Division 3. The bottom two sides were Plymouth Albion and Aspatria who would be transferred to National Division 4 South and National Division 4 North respectively.
