The 1996 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1996 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Frank Sancet Stadium. The team was coached by hall of fame coach Jerry Kindall in his 24th and final season at Arizona. At the season's conclusion Kindall retired and was subsequently replaced by longtime assistant Jerry Stitt. The Wildcats finished 24-32 overall and placed 6th in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with a 7–23 record. This marked the program's 3rd straight season finishing with a losing record, the only such stretch in team history. Arizona additionally missed the postseason for the 3rd consecutive season, becoming the longest postseason drought since 1981–1984.
