[1] The 1995–96 California Golden Bears men's basketball team represented the University of California, Berkeley as a member of the Pacific-10 Conference during the 1995–96 season.

Led by head coach Todd Bozeman, the Bears finished the regular season with a 11–7 record in the Pac-10, placing them fourth behind UCLA, Arizona, and Stanford. The Bears would receive an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament where they were eliminated by Iowa State in the opening round.[2]

The Golden Bears finished the season with an overall record of 17–11, but that record was adjusted to 2–26 due to NCAA infractions.[3] Following the season, in late summer, head coach Todd Bozeman resigned his position.[4][5] [6]
