The 1956 Cleveland Browns season was the team's eleventh season, and seventh season with the National Football League.
This was the first season in which the Browns missed the playoffs, and its first season with a losing record. The Browns lost seven games in 1956, after having lost a total of only 17 over the previous ten seasons combined. They were also the last two time defending champion to not score more than 30 points in a game until the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs.
