The Cincinnati Reds' 1996 season consisted of the Cincinnati Reds attempting to win the National League Central.
Offseason
- December 7, 1995: Chris Sabo was signed as a Free Agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[1]
- January 2, 1996: Eric Davis was signed as a Free Agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[2]
- January 9, 1996: Mike Kelly was traded by the Atlanta Braves to the Cincinnati Reds for a player to be named later and Chad Fox. The Cincinnati Reds sent Ray King (June 11, 1996) to the Atlanta Braves to complete the trade.[3]

Regular season
- April 1 – Seven pitches into the first game of the season, at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, home plate umpire John McSherry collapses on the field and dies of a massive heart attack. The game between the Cincinnati Reds and Montréal Expos is postponed, along with the rest of the games scheduled for that day. Reds owner Marge Schott later comes under fire for wanting the game in Cincinnati to continue despite the tragedy (and against the wishes of the players on both teams), saying that she felt "cheated" when it was canceled.
