# 1955–56 Maccabi Jaffa F.C. season

The 1955–56 Maccabi Jaffa season was the club's 7th season since its establishment in 1949.
At the start of the season, the league which started during the previous season was completed, with the club finishing 1st in its division and qualifying to the promotion/relegation play-offs against the 10th and 11th placed clubs in Liga Alef, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Kfar Saba, and the Liga Bet North winners, Hapoel Kiryat Haim. Maccabi Jaffa topped the play-offs table and was promoted, for the first time in its existence, to the top division.
At the end of the season, the club placed 10th (out of 12) in the league, which meant the club had to face promotion/relegation play-offs against the first placed team from Liga Alef, Hakoah Tel Aviv. Maccabi Jaffa won both play-off matches and stayed in Liga Leumit.
