The 1995–96 MetJHL season is the 5th season of the Metro Junior A Hockey League (MetJHL). The 12 teams of the Eastern and Western Divisions competed in a 52-game schedule. The top 4 teams in each division made the playoffs.

The winner of the MetJHL playoffs, the Caledon Canadians, could not move into national playdowns as the Metro was not a member of the Ontario Hockey Association.
