The '''1956–57 [[Yugoslav First League]] season''' was the 11th season of the First Federal League ({{langx|sh|Prva savezna liga}}), the top level [[association football]] league of [[SFR Yugoslavia]], since its establishment in 1946. Fourteen teams contested the competition, with [[Red Star Belgrade|Red Star]] winning their fourth title.

The season featured an unusually long four-month winter break — from 28 October 1956 until 3 March 1957 — during which the [[Yugoslavia Olympic football team|Yugoslav Olympic national team]], which [[Association football at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men%27s team squads# Yugoslavia|entirely consisted]] of players from the Yugoslav First League, participated at the [[Association football at the 1956 Summer Olympics|1956 Melbourne Olympics]] and won the silver medal.

==Teams==
At the end of the previous season [[FK Željezničar Sarajevo|Željezničar]] and [[NK Osijek|Proleter Osijek]] were relegated from top level. They were replaced by [[NK Lokomotiva|Lokomotiva]] and [[FK Vardar|Vardar]].
