The 189495 season was Manchester City F.C.'s fourth season of league football and third season in the Football League.

In their first season after Ardwick A.F.C.'s reformation as Manchester City, the team fared somewhat better than in their previous season, including recording a record league score of 11-3 at home against Lincoln City, though in this season City for the only time in their history declined to enter the FA Cup (the following season they entered by chose to withdraw later). The season also marks the first season with club legend Billy Meredith on the teamsheet - arguably City's first (chronologically) player of legendary status, and was the first season in which a player scored more than ten goals over the course of one season, partially because of the increasing size of the Football League's Second Division.
