1956 College Baseball All-America Team

1956 All-Americans included former Arizona Wildcats baseball head coach Jerry Kindall.

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1956 NCAA baseball season. From 1947 to 1963, the American Baseball Coaches Association was the only generally recognized All-America selector, so any player selected by the ABCA is considered a "consensus" All-American.
