Aston Villa played the 1935–36 English football season in the Football League First Division. This was manager Jimmy McMullan's 2nd. season. After 11 matches (3W 6L 2D) McMullan was sacked after with no new manager appointed that season. Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers were relegated from the First Division and therefore became the last two founder members of the Football League to lose top flight status for the first time. At the start of the season The Times had tipped Villa as a Championship contender.

Gordon Hodgson transferred to Aston Villa on 8 January 1936 and scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for the Villans. Hodgson made his Villa debut in a 3–0 defeat against Preston North End at Deepdale on 18 January 1936. His first goal for Villa came in a 4–3 defeat against Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park on 15 February 1936. He was relegated with Aston Villa at the end of the 1935–36 season, his four goals in 15 league appearances not enough to help them beat the drop.

In the Second City derby Villa held Birmingham to a draw at St Andrews before beating them 2–1 at Villa Park. There were debuts for Alex Massie, Norman Young, Tom Griffiths, George Cummings, Charlie Drinkwater, Jack Palethorpe, Jackie Williams, John Maund, Gordon Hodgson and Charlie Phillips.
