The 1896 Oregon Agricultural Aggies football team represented Oregon Agricultural College (now known as Oregon State University) as an independent during the 1896 college football season.

In this fourth season of their existence, the Aggies were briefly coached by Tommy Code before he was sent home to California as an "unnecessary expense," to be replaced as coach by two of the college's professors.

During the season the Aggies compiled a 1–2 record and outscored their opponents by a combined total of 22 to 10. The Aggies defeated Fort Vancouver (18–0), but lost two games against Oregon (0–2, 4–8).[1] A. J. Simpson was the team captain.[2]
