The 1996 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup was the fourth edition of the competition between the champions of former republics of Soviet Union. It was won by Dynamo Kyiv in their first participation in the competition, while Omari Tetradze (Alania Vladikavkaz) was honored as the Best player award. In a change from the previous years, top two teams of each group progressed through the first stage, and a quarterfinal round was played for the first time.
